Amazon Keyspaces and Apache Cassandra developer tools
Get more information on the developer tools that our experts discuss and demonstrate on the show.
This repository provides a Docker image with helpful developer tools for Amazon Keyspaces. For example, it includes a CQLSHRC file with best practices, an optional AWS authentication expansion for the CQL shell (cqlsh), and helper tools to perform common tasks. The toolkit is optimized for Amazon Keyspaces but also works with Apache Cassandra clusters.
This repository provides AWS CloudFormation templates to quickly set up Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Keyspaces. Using this template will help you get started by providing deployable prebuilt CloudWatch dashboards with commonly used metrics.
The repository contains examples that show how to connect to Amazon Keyspaces from AWS Lambda.
