Need a scale-out database? New GigaOm study reveals the true costs associated with a serverless database built on Cassandra and self-managed Cassandra

The report "Cassandra Total Cost of Ownership Study" reveals that serverless Cassandra is significantly less expensive than self-managed Cassandra, with a cost difference of $740,087 versus $3,174,938 over three years. This study includes dedicated compute hardware, cost per read and write operation, storage growth, and people costs in the TCO calculations. The results show that serverless Cassandra is 75% less expensive than self-managed Cassandra, with 95% fewer production costs, 3x less complexity, and 44% lower operational costs. This test proves the immense value of serverless Cassandra for a Cassandra deployment in an enterprise project, offering significant reduction in deployment time and costs over self-managed Cassandra workloads.
