ScyllaDB, IncExternal reviews
External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
SyllaDB is love
Super low latency - So that my end users get faster responses,
Database sharding - So that we can extract the best of our hardware (CPU and Memory)
Lesser cost as compared to similar tools
and Lastly Cassandra Compatibility
Support - SyllaDB is growing and so is its community and support, so join along the community and add your experiences
Learning - Switching from the Relational DB world to the NoSQL / Distributed world might be overwhelming
Not many extra plugins/tools - I would suggest keep patience
Setting it up initially is bit hard - Again for those, who are new to the NoSQL / Distributed world
Transaction processing - With ultra Low Latency, We can achieve higher Transaction processing rates, especially during peak hours when we are getting millions of transactions per second
Scalability - In the payments world, as we all know transactions peak during festivals/holiday season, and SyllaDB can scale up/down the nodes while ensuring load balancing and maximum resource utilization
Forex Rates - ScyllaDB can fetch latest exchange rates, enabling us for real-time conversion & processing of forex
Dynamic Pricing and Discounts - It can calculate real-time discounts, dynamic pricing, and promotional offers even during the peak seasons/hours, enhancing our shopper experience by benefiting him with the best rates
Consumes fewer computing resources and requires minimal maintenance
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product's most valuable features are efficiency and reliability. Compared to similar tools, it consumes fewer computing resources and requires minimal maintenance, ensuring smooth operations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using ScyllaDB for approximately three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We've had occasional performance challenges that required resource adjustments or optimizations in our interaction with the platform. However, the support team has responded and promptly resolved these issues.
I rate the stability a nine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team has been excellent. They are responsive and knowledgeable, providing timely assistance.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup has been straightforward in our experience. The deployment team handles the setup efficiently, typically completing it within a day with minimal involvement required from our side.
What other advice do I have?
The product's efficiency has allowed us to optimize resource usage effectively. Its reliability reduces operational overhead, enabling us to focus resources on other critical tasks.
It is user-friendly for those familiar with databases. A basic understanding of database management is necessary for effective use and deployment.
I rate it a ten.
One of the best NoSQL db
Great for alomost all usecase. Provides caching, sharding out of the box
ScyllaDB was a perfect choice for this problems as it has all these feature we required.
Perfect DB for most of the usecases
Very good user experience
Rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library optimized for I/O operations and offers good documentation
What is our primary use case?
We use it as a non-relational database. We use it to store two things:
- To store audit log data and
- blob data, including images with different sizes, like 200kb.
We use it as an image database as well, such as user profile pictures and product catalog promotional pictures.
What is most valuable?
ScyllaDB is a rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library called Seastar, which was developed by ScyllaDB.
Seastar is optimized for I/O operations, which makes it very good compared to Cassandra. Like it's ten times better in terms of performance.
The documentation is good. It integrates easily with our existing data infrastructure.
What needs improvement?
If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never faced any problems. As per my use case and our environment, it is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's pretty good. It offers everything we need at this time. It's a scalable product.
In my organization, all 55 people across six products use ScyllaDB.
How are customer service and support?
We have never contacted customer service and support. It's all working great. So, never needed the support
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We tried MongoDB. It wasn't scalable at that time, like six or seven years ago. Then we moved to Cassandra and then ScyllaDB.
How was the initial setup?
With best computing resources: If you have good computing resources like CPUs, memory, and especially solid-state drives (SSDs), the installation and configuration are very easy.
Without the best computing resources: If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's free. Only support is costly. So the support is an extra cost, which is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend to use it. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use ScyllaDB for the first time.
Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

ScyllaDB ; Scalable and high performance database for your needs
This is very good when you have a usecase to perform the larger number of data operations like logging and monitoring matrics.
The good thing and trust for ScyllaDB is it is one the Graduated projects from CNCF where pepople and contribute and help building the stainable softwares for cloud.
Other features are it low latency and supports time based data.
Onboarding and integrating this ScyllaDB is very easy with your system specially if you are woking with kubernetes based deployments.
We use this db as primary for storing the logs and generating the complex dashboards to identify the vulnerablity.
Also you have to deal and manage the compute resources for this db for a better performance.
