Classic Astra databases
After 4 March 2021, Classic databases, which includes A-, C-, and D-tier plans, can no longer be created through the Astra console. We recommend migrating your database to our current serverless option, which could save you money and allow you to manage your compute and storage capabilities separately. |

Classic database plans
Dev and Test with Shared Resources
Dev and Test databases offer an entry point for developers. Only select AWS and GCP regions are available for the Dev and Test databases. Dev and Test databases don’t support VPC peering or multi-region databases.
Plan | Description |
---|---|
A5 |
3 vCPU, 12GB DRAM, 10GB total usable storage |
A10 |
6 vCPU, 24GB DRAM, 20GB total usable storage |
A20 |
12 vCPU, 48GB DRAM, 40GB total usable storage |
A40 |
24 vCPU, 96GB DRAM, 80GB total usable storage |
Production Workloads with Dedicated Resources
VPC peering and multi-region databases are available on Production Workload databases.
Plan | Description |
---|---|
C10 |
12 vCPU, 48GB DRAM, 500GB total usable storage |
C20 |
24 vCPU, 96GB DRAM, 500GB total usable storage |
C30 |
48 vCPU, 192GB DRAM, 500GB total usable storage |
High-Density Production Workloads with Dedicated Resources
High-Density Production Workload databases offer greater disk capacity and performance than other service tiers. VPC peering and multi-region databases are available on High-Density Product Workload databases.

Classic database authentication
If you are using a classic database that was created before 4 March 2021 and has not been migrated to the newest authentication, you cannot use application tokens for authentication. For more, see Authentication for classic databases. |
Classic database pricing
The cost of your classic DataStax Astra database depends on the classic database plan you select.
Classic Astra databases use a single capacity unit (CU) by default, which represents three database instances that are grouped together for three replicas.
The classic database plan represents the amount of compute power allocated to each CU, and represents three compute instances per CU.
Classic database pricing is presented in the DataStax Astra console in hourly terms, but billed in one-minute granularity.
