Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

Keyspaces (Apache Cassandra)

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/latest/devguide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Wide-column (partition key + clustering columns)
  • Query language: CQL (Cassandra Query Language)
  • Compatibility: Apache Cassandra compatible (CQL, open-source Cassandra drivers)
  • Serverless: Yes (on-demand and provisioned capacity)
  • Serverless type: Operations — no cluster to manage, create a keyspace and start writing; capacity scales automatically
  • Scale to zero: Yes (on-demand: throughput scales to zero; storage still billed)
  • VPC required: No (VPC endpoints supported)
  • Multi-region: Multi-Region replication (add/remove Regions on a live keyspace)
  • Consistency: Tunable reads (ONE, LOCAL_QUORUM); lightweight transactions (LWT) for conditional writes
  • Free Tier: First three months (30M write request units, 30M read request units, 1 GB storage per month).
  • Min cost: $0 (free tier); on-demand and provisioned capacity modes, AWS Database Savings Plans supported
  • Time to first query: Seconds (create table, start writing)
  • Key features: CQL compatibility, serverless, replication across 3 AZs, multi-Region replication, TTL, point-in-time recovery, CDC Streams (pull API), client-side timestamps, logged batches, User Defined Types (UDTs) including nested UDTs, frozen collections, pre-warming, IPv6, customer-managed KMS keys
  • Limitations: No JOINs, no secondary indexes, no full-text search, no complex analytical queries, per-row 1 MB size, some CQL features unsupported
  • Best for: Cassandra migrations, CQL/Cassandra-driver applications, high-throughput write-heavy workloads, event-driven pipelines via CDC Streams, IoT device registries, fleet and time-series-style data already modeled in CQL
  • Not for: Relational/transactional joins, full-text search, analytics, teams without a CQL/Cassandra requirement (DynamoDB is the default key-value choice)
