Cassandra Cluster
Use this guide when users need Cassandra as a distributed, multi-node database topology.
Recommended deployment mode: Database Cluster. Cassandra is generally most useful when it runs as a real cluster, not a single development node.
Provisioning Flow
Select Cassandra in the Database Flow
Start from the Autonomous database workflow and choose Cassandra as the engine.
Configure Cluster Size
Set node count, storage size, and any seed or topology values required by your platform defaults.
Provision and Validate
Deploy the cluster, then confirm node health, storage allocation, and internal connectivity across the cluster.
Common User Mistakes
- Too few nodes for expected data or resilience needs
- Poor storage sizing for write-heavy workloads
- Application consistency expectations not matched to the deployed cluster behavior
