Explore Amazon Keyspaces, a fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service for AWS that supports Apache Cassandra workloads. Understand its scalable capacity modes, multi-region replication capabilities for high availability, and backup features. Gain insights on use cases for mission-critical applications needing low-latency performance and learn how Amazon Keyspaces helps streamline database management without manual cluster provisioning or maintenance.

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is an open-source, NoSQL, scalable, highly available, and fully managed database service. It is a serverless service that saves us from managing and maintaining clusters manually. Keyspaces is used for applications that require fast performance and scalability. It automatically scales up and down the table size per the application’s need.

Since it is compatible with Apache Cassandra, it uses Cassandra Query Language (CQL) and Cassandra drivers, tools, and APIs to run our existing Cassandra applications on AWS. It replicates the table data 3 times in different AWS Availability Zones to achieve high availability. It helps achieve single-digit millisecond latency irrespective of the size of the database, with 99.99% availability.
