Apache Cassandra® Support

Enterprise support contract for teams running open-source Apache Cassandra in production. Get SLA-backed incident response, root cause analysis, security advisory guidance, upgrade planning, and day-2 operational support without relying on a proprietary distribution.

Open-Source Cassandra Specialists

Our engineers know Cassandra internals including compaction, gossip, repairs, and LWTs. You work with specialists who support upstream Cassandra every day.

SLA-Backed Support Contract

Formal support coverage for production incidents with agreed response times, escalation paths, and access to Cassandra engineers when time matters.

Upstream, Vendor-Independent Support

Keep open-source Apache Cassandra under your control. No proprietary fork requirement, no forced platform shift, and no long-term lock-in.

What you get from an AxonOps support contract

You get a formal support relationship for upstream Apache Cassandra, covering production incidents, root cause analysis, upgrade planning, security response, and day-2 operating guidance from engineers who work with Cassandra full time.

AxonOps Workbench gives developers and DBAs a modern querying, modelling and collaboration environment for Apache Cassandra. It includes an enhanced CQL console, advanced query tracing, built-in performance metrics and the ability to run local Cassandra clusters directly on your desktop.

Who We Help

Typical engagements

Typical Cassandra teams we support across implementation, growth, migration, and operational risk management.

Use Case 01

Running Cassandra in production without deep in-house expertise

Your team can manage day-to-day operations, but you need specialists on call when things get complex: scaling, upgrades, repair strategy, and performance tuning.

Use Case 02

Moving away from DataStax Enterprise or another vendor-managed or vendor-supported Cassandra

You are moving to open-source Apache Cassandra and need a real support contract behind the migration and the steady-state operating model.

Use Case 03

Scaling your Cassandra clusters

Your data volume is growing and you need experienced guidance on topology, capacity planning, and operational resilience.

Use Case 04

Compliance requires a support contract

Your organization needs a formal support agreement with guaranteed SLAs and audit-ready support workflows.

Use Case 05

Building a new Cassandra platform from scratch

You are implementing Cassandra for the first time and want the right data model, security baseline, and operating model from day one.

Use Case 06

Needing independent validation of your Cassandra architecture

Your team wants an expert second opinion on cluster design, replication strategy, and scale plans before production rollout.

What the contract covers

Built for production teams that need a real support contract for open-source Cassandra, not just occasional advisory calls.

Production Incident Response

Fast triage for node failures, latency spikes, read/write timeouts, repair instability, and cluster-wide availability incidents.

Performance & Capacity Engineering

Guidance on data modelling, compaction strategy, hardware sizing, throughput optimization, and cost/performance trade-offs.

Upgrade, Migration & Topology Guidance

Structured support for version upgrades, cluster expansion, cloud/on-prem migration planning, and risk-managed rollout steps.

Security Incident & Patch Response

Assessment of newly disclosed vulnerabilities, hardening advice, mitigation steps, and support during emergency patching and validation windows.

Enterprise support without vendor lock-in

A support model for teams that want upstream open-source Cassandra with the confidence of a formal support contract.

01

Support for upstream open-source Cassandra

Keep Apache Cassandra upstream and under your control without having to depend on a proprietary distribution for support coverage.

02

Specialists who handle production incidents daily

Work directly with engineers who spend their time on Cassandra failures, upgrades, scaling decisions, and day-2 operating issues.

03

AxonOps software-backed support

Shared visibility across metrics, logs, backups, repairs, and configuration state speeds up triage and keeps support conversations grounded in live data.

04

RCA, prevention, and emergency change guidance

Support does not stop at incident triage. You also get root cause analysis, safer runbooks, and guidance through urgent remediation windows.

05

Security advisory and patch response

Get practical support through newly disclosed security issues, exposure reviews, mitigation decisions, and patch rollout planning.

06

Support across cloud, on-prem, and Kubernetes

Use the same support model whether Cassandra runs on VMs, bare metal, Kubernetes, or across multiple environments.
