Hi, is this project still maintained?

It seems it's been a while since the last commit.

Best regards,

Hey Roberto, thanks for the message!

The DataStax nodejs driver is still maintained, although it is certainly the case that the level of activity is lower than it has been historically. We released version 4.6.4 a few months ago containing a few bug fixes and we expect to have additional releases going forward. I don't have a time frame yet for when the next release will be; is there a specific issue you'd like to see addressed?

Thanks again!

Hey Bret, thank you so much for you quick response.

I'm doing a PoC to use a Cassandra cluster in a REST API personal project. It's a lot of fun to do this process and I started digging in the existing drivers. This one seems to be the best so far imho, but I was a bit afraid of using it due to the latest two year activity (more or less since Jorge Bay latest commit). Of course, this feedback is not only to do personal projects, I am open to use it in entrerprise solutions in the future, so I was interested in knowing if it was still maintained. I'm glad it is, I'm looking forward to seeing new releases and I hope this project continues being as great as it actually is.
