Product Overview
Apache Cassandra with 24/7 cloudimg support. Distributed NoSQL database engineered for massive scale. Masterless architecture eliminates single points of failure. Linear scalability across datacenters. Proven by Netflix, Bloomberg serving billions of requests daily. Multiple Cassandra versions available on launch spanning multiple OS variants. Production-ready for petabyte-scale workloads.
Why Choose Apache Cassandra?
Masterless distributed architecture with no single point of failure. Linear scalability - add nodes without downtime. Multi-datacenter replication with tunable consistency. Handles petabytes across thousands of nodes. Zero downtime during maintenance. High write and read throughput. Elastic scaling with Zero Copy Streaming. CQL query language familiar to SQL users. Battle-tested by Netflix, Bloomberg, Apple, eBay.
Pre-Configured Integration
Cassandra pre-installed and configured. JVM tuning optimized for EC2. CloudWatch Agent for monitoring. Systems Manager Agent. ENA drivers for enhanced networking. NVMe drivers for optimal I/O. Security hardened. Ready for cluster deployment. Data and commit log directories configured. Optimized garbage collection.
Key Features
Distributed NoSQL with masterless architecture. Linear scalability across datacenters. Tunable consistency (strong to eventual). Multi-datacenter replication. Zero Copy Streaming. CQL query language. Wide row and column family model. Secondary indexes. Materialized views. Lightweight transactions. TTL for auto-expiration. Compaction strategies for storage optimization.
Use Cases
Time-series data for IoT and sensors. Real-time analytics and streaming. User activity tracking. Product catalogs and inventory. Social media feeds and messaging. Financial transactions and fraud detection. Media streaming. Gaming leaderboards. Recommendation engines. Multi-region distributed applications.
Performance & Scalability

FAQ
Q: What support is included? A: 24/7 support with 24hr response SLA, one hour average for critical issues. Covers architecture, modeling, optimization, tuning.
Q: What versions available? A: Multiple Cassandra versions on launch spanning multiple OS variants.
Q: How does it scale? A: Linear - double nodes, double throughput. Add nodes without downtime. Data distributed evenly.
Q: What is masterless architecture? A: All nodes equal. No single point of failure. Any node handles requests.
Q: Span multiple AWS regions? A: Yes. Multi-datacenter replication for DR and low-latency global access.
Q: Recommended instances? A: r5/r6i for memory-intensive. i3/i4i for high I/O. m5/m6i for balanced. Min r5.large.
Q: How to create cluster? A: Launch instances. Configure seed nodes in cassandra.yaml. Start service. Auto-discover via gossip.
Q: Difference vs relational? A: NoSQL - no joins. Optimized for high write throughput and massive scale. Horizontal scaling.
Q: Can I use SQL? A: CQL is SQL-like. SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. No JOINs - requires denormalization.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
