Product Information
What is Scylladb?
ScyllaDB is a database designed for data-intensive applications requiring high performance and low latency. It aims to be compatible with Apache Cassandra while delivering significantly higher throughput and lower latency.
Scylla employs a sharded design on each node, meaning each CPU core handles a distinct subset of data. The cores do not share data but communicate explicitly when necessary. Scylla claims this architecture enables superior performance on modern NUMA SMP machines and scales efficiently with the number of cores. A 2017 benchmark by Samsung revealed a 10x speedup on high-end hardware—the report noted that, under YCSB workloads, Scylla outperformed Cassandra by 10-37x on a cluster of 24-core machines.
Scylla is free and open-source, available as a native solution on major public cloud providers or as a DBaaS (Scylla Cloud).
