Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)
Amazon Keyspaces provides a managed, Cassandra-compatible database environment on AWS. It handles the operational overhead of running Cassandra clusters, allowing teams to execute standard Cassandra queries and data models without managing the underlying infrastructure or maintenance tasks.
This service suits teams already invested in the Cassandra ecosystem who want to shift to a serverless model. The pricing structure is usage-based, starting at $0.1250 per 1M Read Request Units. While a free trial exists, there is no permanent free tier, meaning costs accrue immediately after the trial period based on actual request volume.
