How can on-demand compaction be triggered on Astra DB?

I am looking into the AstraDB and wanted to know how can we initiate the compaction on regular basis? Can we use nodetool for manual compaction? or Astra provides any hooks to initiate the process.

It is not possible to manually trigger compactions on Astra databases.

Astra DB is serverless and fully-managed DB-as-a-service. There is no option for users to run any operational commands like nodetool compact.

Could you tell me more about your use case? We might be able to achieve the same outcome you're after if we have a bit more information. Cheers!
