Pricing adjustment

We have absorbed rising operational costs rather than pass them on to you. Despite significant inflationary pressure across the industry, we have managed to keep our prices stable.

The primary driver for our price adjustment is a sharp increase in hardware costs, which have risen 150–250% in the last 6 months. This is a market-wide development entirely outside our control, and one we have worked hard to shield you from for as long as possible. We have reached a point where continuing to do so would compromise our ability to maintain and develop the platform in a sustainable way.

FAQ

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Does CCX provide a High-availability feature

Yes

Can I change the database configuration?

This is a managed service.

Does CCX support multiple AZs.

CCX supports multiple AZs if the Cloud Provider does.

Can write only instances and read only replicas be created?

Yes, but the write-only instances is read-write. It allows both reads and writes.

Does support use a Proxy or Load Balancer (fora example, if there are 2 or more Read Replica instances, then Read can be load balanced across multiple instances).

DNS is used to facilitate this. However, the user can create his own loadbalancer (such as HAProxy or ProxySQL) and connect to the database service. A load balancer should be placed as close as possible to the user’s application. We recommend that the end-user manages the loadbalancer.

Managed Service

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

CCX is provided as a managed service for your database engine in the cloud(s) you select. This document aims to outline the responsibilities of CCX and what rests with you, as the user.

CCX does:

Deploy, secure and configure database engines onto virtual machines (VMs) in your chosen cloud
Allow you to:
- Configure firewall rules for access
- Create new databases and users
- Configure replication for the chosen topology
- Ensure connectivity between nodes
- View metrics for each VM and the datastore
- View query statistics for your service
- Configure and set a backup schedule for your service
- Configure a maintenance window that allows CCX to perform maintenance and provide security patches
- Scale your service horizontally (up and down)
- Scale your storage vertically (up)
- Manage and monitor the database to ensure connectivity

The primary responsibility of CCX is to ensure that your datastore is running at all times, reacting to scenarios to ensure this is true. CCX does not access your data or control how you use the databases within your datastore.

Elastx DBaaS automatically ensures your databases are reliable, secure, and scalable so that your business continues to run without disruption. It provides full compatibility with the source database engines while reducing operations costs by automating database provisioning and other time-consuming tasks.

Easy high availability and disaster protection by configuring replication, clusters and backups to protect your data. Backups and multi-node datastores are disaster protected as they are running over multiple availability zones which in our case are geographically separated data centers. Automatic failover makes your database highly available. Your data is encrypted at rest, and ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 as well as 14001 compliant.
