High performance distributed database with scaling

  • March 11, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about ScyllaDB is its performance and efficiency. It handles very high throughput with low latency, which is critical for real time and large scale data workloads. I also appreciate that it stays compatible with the Cassandra ecosystem, so teams can adopt it without major changes. The way it uses hardware resources efficiently makes operations much simpler.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging with ScyllaDB is the learning curve when it comes to tuning and operating it at scale. While it delivers strong performance, teams still need a good understanding of distributed systems to get the most out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB helps solve the challenge of handling very large volumes of data with low latency and predictable performance. In systems where throughput and response time matter, that makes a big difference. It allows applications to scale without constant performance bottlenecks. For me, the benefit is more stable performance, better use of infrastructure, and less effort spent dealing with database slowdowns as data and traffic grow.

What do you like best about the product?
The thing i liked the most about ScyllaDB is its user friendliness and ease of integration with other platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its performance needs to be improved and the team needs to work on the scalability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB is basically plays the role of a NoSQL Cloud Database service, which serves the purpose of handling the data read/write requests.

We are using ScyllaDB in production, at large scale, and recommend to everyone

What do you like best about the product?
Horizontally scalable, optimized for heavy writes, but also good with well-designed reads.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are well known trade-offs which you have to understand when choosing any NoSQL db instead of any relational: eventual consistency, joins, transactions etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our platform is serving large number of users, as well as high volume of content. We are using ScyllaDB to store the state. As the audience is distributed, we are benefiting from geo-distributed cluster which accepts the write at the region where the user is located, and making it eventually consistent across the globe.

Traditional, vertically-scalable databases, while having other valuable attributes (such as ACID) are not well suited for globally distributed and horizontally scalable set ups.

ScyllaDB the performance monster.

What do you like best about the product?
We are one of the biggest companies from Bangladesh. We use ScyllaDB on our workload. We server around 20+ countries. By utilizing this database we have reached to this cap with little to no performance issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB uses very high-end hardware to unleash the whole power of ScyllaDB. That's put a pressure on the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are serving almost 20+ countries like UK, US most of EU countries. In traditional No-SQL database we found high latency issue, and there was complexity while setting these databases but this is where ScyllaDB solved our issues.

High Perfomance NOSQL solution

What do you like best about the product?
I have come across scylladb through bytebytego.com youtube video, wherein discord uses scylladb for storing its trillions of messages in the DB
What I understood is that it has capabilities like
High Performance ,Ease of Integration/Implementation,
Seamless Scalability and Cassandra Compatibilty

Although I have to see how it scales in my company, we are currently using Cassandra but doing a POC to use scylladb
I have personally used this in a personal project, real-time Finance Tracker. I didn't face many issues while configuring or using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve; its a bit different from other DBs.
Also, with little documentation,n sometimes its difficult to find solutions in Reddit or StackOverflow; this will improve overtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
low-latency design means faster data processing, allowing interact with your data in real time without delays.(This has helped me, I have to yet go through this DB in deep)

What do you like best about the product?
It's really fast and great for our use case (we store data as protobuf records)
What do you dislike about the product?
Filtering and counting are not one of the strengths of ScyllaDB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB scales impressively by adding more machines, thanks to its efficient design that maximizes hardware use. Its stability comes from predictable performance and a robust architecture, making it reliable even under heavy loads.
