CDC Reads

A “CDC Read Request Unit” (RRU) is the unit of measure for billing CDC reads.

It is based on the payload of each read query response.

CDC for Astra DB performs a database read for each CDC enabled write. These reads are reflected on the bill as CDC Read Request Units.

A CDC Read Request that returns up to 4KB of data is considered an RRU. If the request returns more than 4KB of data, additional CDC RRUs are required.
