Cassandra

Distributed NoSQL database designed for resilience, scalability, and high availability

Cassandra

Apache Cassandra is an open-source, masterless NoSQL database designed for linear scalability and constant availability without compromising performance. It manages very large volumes of data with ease and remains operational even during regional outages. Thanks to its decentralized architecture, Cassandra is ideal for mission-critical applications in multi-cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments.
  1. 01

    01 Native fault tolerance

    Data is automatically replicated across multiple datacenters, ensuring continuous service even in the event of node or regional failures.

  2. 02

    02 Seamless scalability

    Simply add nodes to increase capacity, with no downtime. Cassandra scales horizontally using standard hardware.

  3. 03

    03 Global reach with low latency

    Geographic replication guarantees fast data access for users, no matter where they are.

  4. 04

    04 Architecture without a single point of failure

    All nodes are equal. No central node, no bottlenecks, and greater reliability.

  5. 05

    05 Tunable consistency

    Select the consistency level that fits each query: strict or relaxed, depending on your application’s requirements.

What is a distributed NoSQL database?

Cassandra is a non-relational database built to remain available and scale effortlessly. Data is distributed across multiple servers and automatically replicated to ensure durability. With its decentralized design and compatibility with cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, Cassandra is a reliable solution for managing large volumes of data.

Use Cases:

  • Common applications in finance, retail, or IoT
  • Online services requiring continuous availability
  • SaaS platforms deployed worldwide
  • Big Data pipelines and real-time analytics
  • Systems that must scale elastically without service disruption

What makes Clever Cloud unique

Most cloud platforms ask you to pick a lane. Serverless with hard limits on memory, execution time, and payload size. Containers locked to a single hyperscaler with databases resold from third parties. Or raw infrastructure where you manage everything yourself.
