Astra DB provides the easiest, most cost-effective solution for implementing Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise workloads in the cloud.
Astra DB is designed to be secure by default, with built-in security controls that integrate with your existing security policies and protocols.
Connect to your database using APIs, native drivers, or the command line.
Migrate applications from any CQL-based cluster (Apache Cassandra®, DSE, Astra DB, or any type of CQL-based database) to any other CQL-based cluster, without any interruption of service to the client applications and data.
Astra DB includes Stargate, an open-source, data API gateway that sits between your application and the database. Every database you create automatically has gRPC, GraphQL, REST, a Document (schemaless JSON) API, alongside native driver (CQL) coordinators.
Extend Astra DB with additional capabilities through integrations with other popular technologies like Temporal, Feast, and Grafana.
