ScyllaDB Cloud Network Connectivity: Transit Gateway Connection
Blog post from ScyllaDB
ScyllaDB Cloud, a managed NoSQL Database-as-a-Service built on the ScyllaDB engine, offers enhanced network connectivity solutions compatible with Cassandra Query Language and Amazon DynamoDB APIs, ideal for performance-focused solution architects. It supports both VPC peering and the newly introduced Transit Gateway Connection, which simplifies network management by centralizing connections and routing through a scalable hub-and-spokes model. This feature, added in February 2024, improves connectivity across complex environments by connecting multiple VPCs, load balancers, and VPNs, enhancing security and auditability. Configuring the Transit Gateway in ScyllaDB Cloud involves setting up connections in AWS, with costs incurred for each network component attached per hour and data processing charges based on traffic. Customers can deploy databases using ScyllaDB Cloud in their AWS accounts, optimizing flexibility and cost management, while billing is split between ScyllaDB Cloud and customer AWS accounts depending on the network setup.
