ScyllaDB Systemeigenschaften

Scylla is a highly-available, highly-scalable, highly-performant NoSQL database. Scylla is generally used as a key-value store or wide-column model database.

Cassandra Compatibility — Scylla was designed to be a drop-in replacement for Apache Cassandra. is completely compliant with Cassandra Query Language (CQL). It also uses the same SSTable format on disk, making migrations from Cassandra to Scylla easy.

Scylla took the best characteristics of Apache Cassandra and did a complete rewrite from the ground up in C++. This means no JVM tuning and no garbage collection (GC) pauses. Built on the Seastar engine, Scylla provides all the best features of Cassandra with a built-for-speed engine under the hood.

DynamoDB Compatibility — Scylla also offers an Amazon DynamoDB-compatible API, known as Alternator. It supports the same SDKs, and now also offers an experimental feature for Alternator Streams.

This allowing you to run your workloads on an open source alternative on AWS, or on any other public cloud (Azure, Google Cloud). You can also run on hybrid or multi-cloud deployments, or even on-premises.

DBaaS — Scylla Cloud is the Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offering of Scylla. It runs on AWS and is certified for use in AWS Outposts, and now has a beta for GCP.

Extensible to Graph or Time Series — With additional packages such as JanusGraph or KairosDB, Scylla can serve as a graph database or a time series database (TSDB).
