Migrating from Cassandra to scylladb
What do you like best about the product?
The migration path from Cassandra to scylladb is smooth. they provide all documentation regarding migration path
What do you dislike about the product?
Right now they don't support for rdbms like MySQL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scylladb is working on nosql based databases which works at larger scale with their performance
Choose scylla for savings
What do you like best about the product?
With so much cheaper writes Scylla is an absolute choice for storing tracking and snapshot data. Scylla operator makes our life so simple that we don't have worry about modifying complex scripts to manage our clusters
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have the need to upgrade the major/minor version of the Scylla cluster, which is not yet supported by the Scylla Operator. The only way they suggest is to spin up a new cluster from scratch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were hitting RDS limits, as our use case involves very high writing IOPS (peak: ~30-40K iops) that too for some non critical snapshot tables. High IOPS = high costs for RDS
In our case, storing snapshot tables and tracking data relational database was working but non relational would also be same so we switched to scyllaDB, which is much cheaper.

ScyllaDB offers cross-data center replication features that are well-optimized & highly available
What do you like best about the product?
NoSQL databases are preferred for our applications that depend on unstructured data. ScyllaDB offers excellent services to govern low latency & enterprise-grade NoSQL database platforms. Since Scylla manages all backend operations on the AWS environment, we don't have to worry about its setup, configuration & maintenance activities. Deployments in ScyllaDB Cloud reduce costs and overhead, as they are crucial considerations while dealing with sensitive customer data in bulk.
What do you dislike about the product?
None. ScyllaDB provides a splendid cloud-based platform that helps us maintain our SLAs through its low latency features. It enables us to optimize our cluster configurations, performance metrics & resource costs. We are satisfied with the services offered by ScyllaDB for our enterprise requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With ScyllaDB, we possess fine-grained control over critical metrics such as CPU utilization, I/O & memory data transfer rates. It provisions efficient servers capable of handling heavy workloads with small clusters. AWS supports all cluster deployments, thereby delivering highly available NoSQL database systems. We can also use its cross-data center replication feature across availability zones to shield production outages in case of single-point failures.
ScyllaDB Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use with automated setup, User Interface, ScyllaDB Open Source community
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB Documentation needs improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides realtime NoSql Database with high availability.
My go-to NoSQL database
What do you like best about the product?
I used to use Postgres as my go-to database. When I started using Scylla, its SQL-like syntax made it super easy for me to get used to it. Not only is it easier to get used to, but it's also lightning fast. Plus, Cassandra compatibility! I don't think I can ever go back to using Postgres again after experiencing this (unless it's part of the project requirement). Now, Scylla is my go-to database.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd be nitpicking here, but there are times when I just want to fetch something without using all partition keys or to update a field that happens to be a clustering key. Not as part of my project or test (that would be silly), but just for some random reason. Of course, that doesn't work the way it does with SQL. That's something I miss. But I really can't blame Scylla for this, I could have used any NoSQL database and the same would have been true.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its lightning-fast speed has significantly reduced response time. As the biggest (or narrowest, if you will) bottleneck used to be database latency before, with Scylla that's not an issue anymore, as it responds within nanoseconds.
Ease of Use
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use and its integration with CQL so my apps don't have to suffer outage during migration
What do you dislike about the product?
The document can be better to support such a good product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scalability and the stop the world garbage collection with Cassandra DB
Highly performant NoSQL DB so far
What do you like best about the product?
We migrated our test environment DB from Cassandra to ScyllaDB and saw huge improvements in speed and consistency. The flexibility of having CQL and easy migration is an added bonus on top of the consistency.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't tried it production grade environment yet to find flaws, but one thing we didn't like is that the UI is a bit confusing at the beginning (especially for non-devs).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being used in test environment for data heavy application which requires consistent data at all times! Making data available at a consistent rate, open-source, uses much faster language (C++) at core.
High performance, low latency
What do you like best about the product?
Utilization of modern multi-core servers
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs CPU and I/O schedulers and CQL queryable Change Data Capture
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Covering fault tolerance with replication across multiple nodes, low latency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Attend their Scylla University live trainings
ScyllaDB for natural language processing — glad we moved on from Cassandra!
What do you like best about the product?
We previously used Cassandra to back a natural language processing system, storing news articles and metadata for an IR frontend. We evaluated migrating to Scylla and found it an absolute joy to work with. Creating the same schema was easy, and loading the snapshot from Cassandra to Scylla made it really easy to move the data over without having to write one-off custom scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I could think of is to clean up the documentation on migration a little bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to obtain better read performance as well as reliability, and wanted to future-proof our solution. I think Scylla has enabled us to be more productive in this way.
ScyllaDB - The low latency, high throughput, highly scalable NOSQL database
What do you like best about the product?
Cassandra compatibility, lower node count, highly available, highly scalable horizontally and vertically, syntax similar to CQL, low latency, high read throughput, and write throughput, no JVM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is very minimal. Connectors are not available for all databases for easy migration to Scylla. Lack of good ecosystems and features like Cassandra.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have a key-value data store, but we had a huge data, so we chose ScyllaDB. Also, we had a low latency reads requirement. We benefited from all the advantages of Scylla like fewer nodes, high read and. write throughputs, high availability, and scalability of Scylla.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No harm in trying as replacement to Cassandra.
