JVM choice and configuration can dramatically impact that cost. The Azul Platform Prime JVM significantly improves Cassandra performance and reduces the cost of Cassandra clusters.</strong></p> <h2 id="h2-0-background">Background</h2> <p>We set off to characterize the impact of JVM choice and configuration on Cassandra load carrying capacity: the capacity of a Cassandra cluster of a certain size to handle traffic while meeting specified service levels.</p>
