If I had to choose between running 3x docker instances and 1x instance on a single server, I'd choose the single one. Instead of dealing with RF changing nonsense I'd just set up a 2nd data center w/ 3 nodes and move to that when you're ready. No downtime, easy. With that said - Starting off wit

Hello, I’m ready to start deploying the service that uses Cassandra as a database. I have one dedicated server with the following config: Intel Xeon E3 1225v2 4cores 4 threads processor, 3 x 120Gb SSD drive, 32Gb RAM. What is the best option to start using cassandra on production on this serv
