Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, serverless, highly available, and fully managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service. Effective Today, Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is reducing prices by up to 75% across several pricing dimensions.
Amazon Keyspaces supports both on-demand and provisioned capacity modes for writing and reading data within a Region or across Regions. Keyspaces’ on-demand mode provides a fully serverless experience with pay-as-you-go pricing and automatic scaling, eliminating the need for capacity planning. Many customers choose on-demand mode for its simplicity, enabling them to build modern, serverless applications that can start small and seamlessly scale to millions of requests per second.
Amazon Keyspaces has lowered prices for on-demand mode by up to 56% for single-Region and up to 65% for multi-Region usage, and for provisioned mode by up to 13% for single-Region and up to 20% for multi-Region usage. Additionally, to make data deletion more cost-effective, Keyspaces has lowered time-to-live (TTL) delete prices by 75%. Previously, on-demand was the cost-effective choice for spiky workloads, but with this pricing change, it now offers a lower cost for most provisioned capacity workloads as well. This change transforms on-demand mode into the recommended and default choice for the majority of Keyspaces workloads.
Together, these price reductions make Amazon Keyspaces even more cost-effective and simplify building, scaling, and managing Cassandra workloads. These pricing changes are applicable in all the Amazon Web Services regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, starting today and will be automatically reflected in your Amazon Web Services bill.
