Why teams connect Amazon Redshift and Apache Cassandra

Connect Apache Cassandra and Amazon Redshift with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Apache Cassandra's rows in Amazon Redshift, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Apache Cassandra where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Apache Cassandra sync into Amazon Redshift in real time, and result tables in Amazon Redshift sync back into Apache Cassandra, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Centralize CRM, ERP, and product data in Redshift so analysts join it with warehouse tables.
  • Publish finance rollups computed in Redshift back to spreadsheets or operational tools.
  • Feed Cassandra change streams into search indexes or caches that must track the source of truth.
  • Consolidate data from multiple keyspaces or clusters into one reporting store.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Amazon Redshift and keep Apache Cassandra focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Apache Cassandra land in Amazon Redshift as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Amazon Redshift sync into Apache Cassandra, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Amazon Redshift and Apache Cassandra

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon Redshift objects Apache Cassandra objects
External Tables (Spectrum) S3-backed tables queryable through Redshift, readable in syncs. Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping.
Stored Procedures SQL procedures sometimes invoked around load steps. Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs.
Users and Groups Principals used to grant a sync connection scoped access. Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection.
Databases Top-level containers within a cluster or serverless workgroup. Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync.
Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced tables and control grants. Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts.
Tables Columnar tables used as sync destinations for SaaS and database data. Materialized Views Server-maintained denormalized views; considered experimental and disabled by default in recent releases.

How the Amazon Redshift and Apache Cassandra connectors work

Amazon Redshift

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC (PostgreSQL-derived protocol); Redshift Data API over HTTPS
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM-based authentication
Change detection
Polling or query-based diffing; Redshift does not expose a transaction log for external CDC consumers
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by cluster or serverless capacity and concurrency settings rather than API quotas

Apache Cassandra

Integration surface
CQL over the Cassandra native binary protocol
Authentication
Database credentials (password authenticator); TLS and role-based grants where configured
Change detection
Commit-log based CDC on tables with CDC enabled, or polling using writetime metadata and timestamp columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices
