Product Overview
Apache Cassandra is a highly scalable, distributed NoSQL database built for handling massive amounts of structured or semi-structured data across multiple data centers and cloud regions. It offers linear scalability, fault tolerance, and high write throughput — ideal for mission-critical applications.
FlexiDB offers a fully managed version of Apache Cassandra. With auto-provisioning, node management, multi-zone redundancy, and built-in monitoring, you can run globally distributed applications without the complexity of operational overhead.
Built-in Technical Advantages:

Technical FAQs and Insights
What version of Cassandra is supported?
FlexiDB supports the latest and up to two prior (N–2) stable versions of each database engine. Since version updates vary by vendor, please refer to the Yntraa Cloud Assure portal for the most up-to-date list of supported versions.
What makes Cassandra different from other NoSQL databases?
Cassandra’s peer-to-peer architecture ensures no single point of failure and supports linear scalability with tunable consistency.
What types of databases are included under FlexiDB?
Yntraa FlexiDB includes non-relational (NoSQL) and big data databases such as MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Couchbase, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, and ScyllaDB. These cover a wide range of use cases — from document storage to real-time analytics and big data processing.
How is FlexiDB different from SutraDB?
While SutraDB focuses on relational (structured) databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, FlexiDB is designed for unstructured or semi-structured workloads such as logs, documents, cache data, sensor feeds, and distributed storage.
Can I scale FlexiDB databases horizontally?
Yes. Most engines under FlexiDB, like Cassandra, ScyllaDB, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, are designed for horizontal scalability and can be scaled easily across multiple nodes or shards.
Do I need to manage backups and monitoring myself?
No. FlexiDB is a fully managed platform. Backup automation, monitoring, high availability, and patching are all handled by Yntraa Cloud so you can focus on development.
Can I use FlexiDB for data lakes or big data batch processing?
Absolutely. Hadoop under FlexiDB supports large-scale data lake creation, batch ETL pipelines, archival storage, and complex analytical workflows.
Do you provide SLAs for availability and support?
Yes. FlexiDB offers industry-grade SLAs based on your chosen service tier — with 24/7 monitoring, proactive support, and escalation paths for enterprise workloads.
What if I need help selecting the right database?
You can use our Database Selector Tool or contact our team to help map your workload and data type to the best-fit engine — whether it’s key-value, document, columnar, or search.
