Frequently asked questions
Apache Cassandra is an open-source, NoSQL, distributed database management system designed to handle massive amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. It uses a peer-to-peer distributed architecture to ensure continuous uptime and linear scalability.
Apache Cassandra provides high availability, linear scalability, and excellent write performance. Originally developed at Facebook, it’s now used by companies like Netflix, Apple, and Instagram for mission-critical applications.
For Apache Cassandra, key requirements include ample RAM (32GB+ for production), fast storage (SSDs are best), multi-core CPUs (8+ recommended), and a compatible 64-bit Linux OS with Java (JDK 11/17+), with specific needs scaling by workload, but aim for more RAM for better performance.
For more detailed information, refer to the Cassandra documentation.
Apache Cassandra excels in environments demanding massive scale, continuous uptime, and high velocity ingestion. Its architecture—a decentralized, peer-to-peer system—makes it the ideal choice for applications that cannot afford downtime and require linear scalability across hundreds or thousands of servers. Common use cases include high-frequency data logging, Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data management, and time-series data storage. For example, major streaming services rely on Cassandra to handle billions of user events per second and maintain personalized profiles without performance degradation as their user base grows.
Furthermore, Cassandra is perfectly suited for scenarios requiring global data distribution and immediate consistency at the row level. Its tunable consistency feature allows developers to prioritize either latency or data reliability based on the business need. This makes it a backbone for operational applications like recommendation engines, fraud detection systems, and customer 360-degree views, especially when deployed across multiple cloud regions. By distributing data copies globally and efficiently, Cassandra ensures that a user in Asia receives the same instant experience as a user in North America, even during peak load.
During the 30-day trial period, you may create one server with a configuration costing up to $100. You will have 1000 GB of free traffic available. Customers must provide a valid credit card to start the trial, but the card will not be charged if you stay within the usage limits stated above. If you wish to cancel the free trial, you can simply terminate your server without incurring any charges. However, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.
We provide a 99.95% uptime SLA. Our redundant infrastructure, multiple network carriers, and proactive cloud monitoring ensure maximum availability.
Cassandra is optimized for write-heavy workloads and applications requiring continuous availability. It’s excellent for time-series data, event logging, IoT sensor data, messaging systems, user activity tracking, and any scenario where you have high write volumes and need to scale horizontally. It’s also strong for applications requiring geographic distribution with local read/write performance.
Adding nodes to a Cassandra cluster on Kamatera is simple. Provision new servers, add them to your cluster, and Cassandra automatically redistributes data to balance the load. Your application continues running without downtime during expansion. The same process works in reverse—you can remove nodes when demand decreases, and data rebalances automatically.
Cassandra’s replication provides inherent resilience—data exists on multiple nodes, so single node failures don’t cause data loss. For additional protection, you can take snapshots of your data on each node. These snapshots can be stored in external storage for long-term retention. Kamatera’s disaster recovery solutions enable quick restoration of a business’s critical systems and data in the event of a disaster, with a focus on minimizing downtime.
