ScyllaDB: Fast Reads & Writes, Ideal for High User Base
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate ScyllaDB's significant improvement in read and write speeds compared to Cassandra, which is crucial for our project with a large user base of around 80 million. I value the Cassandra compatibility of ScyllaDB, allowing for an easy lift and shift process. Additionally, the shard-per-core architecture is excellent for performance enhancement, particularly in high user base environments. Even though it took some time to understand its architecture initially, the potential for higher performance outweighs the learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB doesn't perform well on small VMs. The initial setup took some time to understand its architecture and internal mechanisms. A relaxed CPU pinning mode could improve stability on over-subscribed cloud hosts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ScyllaDB to improve user authentication with faster read and write speeds than Cassandra, suitable for large user bases. It offers a Cassandra-compatible, shard-per-core architecture for high performance, though it struggles on small VMs.
High Performance with Some Setup Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate ScyllaDB for its high performance and low latency in handling NoSQL workloads, making it exceptionally useful for real-time applications such as IoT, finance, and technology, particularly when analyzing time-series data. ScyllaDB stands out as a clear replacement for Apache Cassandra, offering support for the DynamoDB API of AWS, which enhances its applicability and flexibility. I love its thread-per-core architecture, which ensures maximum CPU efficiency by eliminating context switching overhead, resulting in ultra-low latency even under heavy loads. This feature, combined with its predictable performance and automated workload isolation, delivers consistent throughput without stability issues, making ScyllaDB ideal for real-time and high concurrency systems. The database excels in key performance metrics such as scalability and cost efficiency, providing 20x better throughput and more predictable performance under heavy load compared to other NoSQL databases like Cassandra, MongoDB, and DynamoDB. I also value the cloud model ScyllaDB offers, along with its strong support for time series data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the documentation depth lacking, which makes it difficult to fully grasp all aspects of the software. The setup process could be more user-friendly, possibly through an agent-based setup. There is inadequate support for complex use cases such as migration and cloud integrations like AWS. Additionally, the tools for data export or import need improvement. I faced hardware challenges initially, which were a significant hurdle during the setup of ScyllaDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ScyllaDB for high-performance, low-latency NoSQL workloads, solving scalability and cost efficiency issues. It provides 20x better throughput, predictable performance under heavy load, and is ideal for real-time and high-concurrency systems, clearly outperforming other NoSQL databases.
Learning Curve Leveling Out, Promising Latency Features
What do you like best about the product?
I find ScyllaDB's latency to be an extremely important feature. It's crucial for me because faster response times are essential for the projects I plan to work on in the future. The security aspect of ScyllaDB also stands out as a highly valued feature. Although I'm still in the learning phase, these features are significant reasons why I am planning to use this database. Furthermore, the initial setup of ScyllaDB was relatively easy for me, despite my being new and facing some difficulties initially. Its overall usability and feature set make ScyllaDB appealing as a future choice for my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find ScyllaDB addresses latency and security concerns, which I anticipate will be very beneficial for my future projects.
