What Is GeminiDB Cassandra API?

GeminiDB Cassandra API is a cloud native NoSQL database service compatible with Cassandra. It supports Cassandra Query Language (CQL), which gives you SQL-like syntax. With robust security and reliability, GeminiDB Cassandra API offers ultra-high performance and addresses pain points of open-source Cassandra.

• High security and reliability
  • A multi-layer security system, including a VPC, subnets, security groups, SSL, and fine-grained permissions control, ensures database security and user privacy.
  • Cross-region active-active DR is supported. You can deploy an instance across three AZs and quickly back up or restore data to improve data reliability.
  • The distributed architecture provides superlative fault tolerance (N-1 reliability).
• Future-proof ecosystem
  • It is fully compatible with open-source Cassandra.
  • It supports a SQL-like syntax and offers you a MySQL-like user experience.
  • You can smoothly migrate data from DynamoDB tables to GeminiDB DynamoDB-Compatible instances.
• Enhanced capabilities
  • Enhanced indexing makes it easier to query massive sets of data in complex scenarios.
  • Data recovery capabilities such as second-level flashback and Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) ensure high data reliability.
• Superior performance
  • A wide table model enables it to store petabytes of structured and semi-structured data.
  • It delivers powerful write performance, several times higher read-only performance and 2 times higher I/O performance than open-source Cassandra.
• No pain points of open-source software
  • Data keeps consistent, and there are no garbage collection (GC) issues.
  • Storage can be scaled in seconds and without affecting services.
  • Compute nodes can be added in minutes. Network jitter may last only a few seconds.
