Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), a scalable, highly available, and fully managed Apache Cassandra–compatible database service, now supports automatic data expiration by using Time to Live (TTL) settings. With TTL, you set expiration times on attributes or rows in your tables, and Keyspaces automatically deletes those expired attributes or rows. TTL is useful if your data is growing rapidly, and you want to control costs by deleting data that you don’t want to retain indefinitely. If you have compliance requirements corresponding to data retention, you can use TTL to delete data at the desired time. You can ... Read More
