Services
Four ways to engage, all billed hourly.
Every engagement is hourly time and materials: senior US engineers billed by the hour, as a project engagement or staff augmentation. Scope, staffing, and timeline are agreed through an initial conversation — no fixed-price packages, no surprises in month three.
Cluster & Data-Model Review
The fastest way to find out where your cluster actually stands. We audit your schema against real access patterns — partition sizing, tombstone accumulation, secondary-index misuse — along with compaction strategy, repair posture, and driver configuration. You get a prioritized remediation plan you can execute yourself or with us.
Design & Build
For new workloads on Cassandra or Astra DB. Query-first data modeling, driver integration, multi-datacenter topology design, and capacity planning — so the schema fits the access patterns before the first byte is written, not after the first incident.
Migrations & Upgrades
Major-version upgrades across the 3.x, 4.x, and 5 lines; moves between DataStax Enterprise and open-source Cassandra in either direction; self-managed to Astra DB migrations; and zero-downtime dual-write cutovers when the data cannot stop moving.
Operations Retainer
Ongoing operational help by the hour: repair and compaction hygiene, monitoring, incident escalation, and performance tuning. Useful when you run Cassandra in production but nobody on the team wants to own it full-time.
Not sure which fits? Contact us and describe the system — we'll tell you which engagement makes sense, or whether a single review is enough.
