Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) introduces pre-warming with WarmThroughput for your tables

[Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)](https://aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/) now supports table pre-warming, allowing you to proactively prepare both new and existing tables to meet future traffic demands. This capability is available for tables in both provisioned and on-demand capacity modes, including multi-Region replicated tables. Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra–compatible database service. Amazon Keyspaces is serverless, so you pay for only the resources that you use and you can build applications that serve thousands of requests per second with virtually unlimited throughput and storage. While Amazon Keyspaces automatically scales to accommodate growing workloads, certain scenarios like application launches, marketing campaigns, or seasonal events can create sudden traffic spikes that exceed normal scaling patterns. With pre-warming, you can now manually specify your expected peak throughput requirements during table creation or update operations, ensuring your tables are immediately ready to handle large traffic surges without scaling delays or increased error rates. The pre-warming process is non-disruptive and runs asynchronously, allowing you to continue making other table modifications while pre-warming is in progress. Pre-warming incurs a one-time charge based on the difference between your specified values and the baseline capacity. The feature is now available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Keyspaces is offered.
