Why don't you start off with a “single small” Cassandra server as you usually do it with MySQL?

For any website just starting out, the load initially is minimal grows with a slow pace initially. People usually start with their MySQL based sites with a single server(***that too a VPS not a dedicated server) running as both app server as well as DB server usually get too far with this setup

Hi, The idea behind Cassandra is not the same as for MySQL.  First of all you can't get fault tolerance with one node.  I don't think Cassandra nodes are more prone to be unavailable, but by using replication you can get more availability right away.  If you have multiple instances when you start

I agree. I ran into a issue where I ran a single instance and the server was shut down (without stopping cassandra) and for some reason I lost the database schema. I was back up quickly only because I had scripts to create the schema and a backup of the data to load once the schema was created.

If you are comfortable with the Cassandra data model, you understand how a QUORUM read and write work at various replication factors and you think that the growth of your dataset will somewhat fast as Rob mentioned. Go for it! Just remember to always benchmark performance and test what happens
