Advantages of using Cloudurable

Why pick us?

Our mission is to help you keep costs low in the cloud without sacrificing stability or security. We streamline DevOps, DBA and production support of Cassandra and Kafka in the AWS cloud. This support includes training, consulting, implementation and subscription support of the Cassandra Database and Kafka running in AWS, GCP or Azure. We can help you with your cloud native transformation.

We have a deep background with container orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes as well as Microservices.

We strive to provide the best performance setup custom to your workloads. You save money by getting the most out of your deployments based on your business needs instead of one-size-fits-all hosting which may not meet your compliance needs.

We’re focused on ensuring resiliency in our deployments to avoid downtime

We’ve been setting up reliable systems for large companies. We have implemented 100 million users, cloud services solutions that were 153x less cost to run (hardware costs) and went from $200K monthly support costs with lots of downtimes to virtually no support costs with no downtime. We reduced EC2/AWS spend. We improved performance.

We understand that downtime not only impacts the customer, but the can cost your business and your business reputation can be astronomical. Let us help protect not just your system, but your brand.

  • Best performance setup custom to your workloads
  • Best resiliency setup custom to your requirements
  • Save up to 10x or more on AWS / EC2 costs
  • If your data is important, we are hyper-focused on getting the right SLA for replication
  • DevOps streamlining: We also will help you monitor the effectiveness of your disaster recovery as your application evolves
  • Cassandra DBA task automation like backups, upgrades, schema updates, adding nodes, etc.
  • Not focused on just Cassandra but Cassandra running on AWS/EC2
  • Not one size fits all (hosting providers use the same setup for every client)
  • Companies have different needs for Cassandra (different workloads)
  • Industry knowledge of what to avoid (Pitfalls of AWS snitch)
  • Preference for AWS technology instead of one-off vendor lock-in
  • Security compliance that meets your needs and uses EC2/AWS tools
  • Read versus Write workloads (Use real data to optimize and reduce EC2 spend)
  • Focus of Cloudurable™ is EC2/AWS support of Cassandra
  • Focus on AWS setup to optimize Cassandra, VPC, enhanced networking for your needs
  • Knowledge of Enhanced Networking, VPC, VPC peering, JBOD, encrypted EBS, etc. to get the price/perf that fits your needs

Focus: Follow the money!

Our focus is the best possible support for Cassandra™ (and/or Kafka) on EC2/AWS available at a price that is cheaper than all of our viable competitors. We want to take our experience with support and plug that back into products that make Cassandra™ more resilient, and even easier to support. We want to reduce your EC2/AWS spend. We want to make you successful with Cassandra in EC2. We make our money by providing the best support.

We don’t plan on making our money by consulting or hosting. We are not trying to maximize our hosting revenue by increasing your cost. We do not seek to create one-size fits all solutions to reduce our cost.

We make our money by making support easier. Our goals are meant to align with your goals to maximize your Cassandra EC2 experience. Cloudruable™ has consultants, trainers, and we can provide boots on the ground, but that is not our focus. Our path for growth is providing more customers with better subscription support not consulting or training.

The amount of money you spend on setting up and running Cassandra™ depends on engineering trade-offs of performance and data consistency. Instead of shoehorning every customer into one-size fits all solutions, we work with your team to pick the right EC2/AWS setup for your particular use case. A bank does not have the same needs as an online gaming company.

Save 10x

The difference in price can be shocking. The price difference can be ten times or more to run the Cassandra Database in AWS / EC2 if you take the one-size-fits-all approach. Or worse, you can pick a setup that is “cheaper” but does not work when a data center or availability zone goes down. Imagine the cost of a significant outage. Worse, imagine the cost especially if that outage coupled with a significant data consistency problem between regions/data centers.

Companies have different needs for different applications. They have different compliance needs. Different disaster recovery needs. Hosted solutions are easy to get started but often become very expensive to replace.

Our focus in EC2/AWS and Cassandra™. Some companies focus on the Cassandra Database but are blind to AWS/EC2. There are feature overlaps between hosting providers and AWS/EC2. Cloudurable™ helps you pick the best solution, and focuses on what is best in the AWS/EC2 environment not what is easiest for our company to replicate to different environments (different clouds, bare metal, on premise, etc.). We have seen it, and it is an expensive proposition.

We will help you pick a competitor if you like

Perhaps a hosted solution is right for you. It can be cost effective. We can even work with your team to analyze the hosted solution you pick based on your compliance needs, SLAs, and disaster recovery needs. Does it fit? We can help your team ask the right questions and get the right support even if it is not from us.

Find out how much money you can save on EC2 costs

We can look at your existing Cassandra app and show you how much money you could save.

We can also evaluate your present hosted Cassandra solution. We will look at your traffic, metrics, and show you how much money you can save by deploying your individual Cassandra cluster. Often, the amount you can save will pay for our subscription support, analysis and consulting by an order of magnitude.

Find out if your disaster recovery is going to work before disaster strikes

We can even estimate the cost of a major outage with your current solution. We can tell you if your Cassandra Database setup is running towards a cliff, and how hard the fall will be when the inevitable happens.

We try to maximize availability and keep DevOps from getting called in the middle of the night.
