Good NoSQL database with really high throughput at sub millisecond latencies
What do you like best about the product?
The most important point is that Scylla is written in C++. Very good scalable, reliable, and fast database, for sure developer-friendly. The Seastar network works very well, no special infrastructure is required, latency is better than in other solutions. A lot of additional features like materialized views, global and local secondary indexes, workload prioritization, and a DynamoDB-compatible API make Scylla a good competitor for Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scylla is still not so popular as other solutions. Cassandra is now the standard for column-store databases. Not many users decided to switch to ScyllaDB so community and support are weak at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tried to solve a problem with latency during using Cassandra. I have noticed a nice performance improvement and potential for lower operational cost, also latency is better.

My experience with Scylla
What do you like best about the product?
Constant innovation to improve the database performance and provide top-notch enterprise support
What do you dislike about the product?
Automated schema management has some scope for improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a next-gen Customer Data Platform using Scylla DB. Our use-cases vary widely from OLTP to OLAP to real-time data ingestions which we were able to satisfy using Scylla
High performance and low cost with ScyllaDB
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and ease of use make database administration more manageable. Cassandra and DynamoDB compatibility allowed us to use CQL drivers to interact with the database. Another exciting feature of Scylla is its fast replication. ScyllaDB provides high performance with millions of requests per sec per Scylla node due to fewer internal database operations. Scylla provides excellent monitoring capabilities with Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using Syclla requires complete application knowledge before the data can be modeled. No transactional guarantee and joins in ScyllaDB can be an issue for some use cases, along with the low consistency. No support for Azure in ScyllaDB Cloud is a pain point for companies looking to run all their workloads on Azure. ScyllaDB cloud lacks support for connecting to the cluster through a browser, which most other DBaaS providers provide. SycllaDB lacks direct support for other monitoring tools apart from Prometheus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ScyllaDB for storing big data in a distributed system. We use Terabytes of data across regions with high availability, thanks to Scylla. We use the Syclla Cloud providing and it is excellent for administration since it allows us to connect our AWS account(Bring Your Own Cloud, BYOC) and run workloads on our cloud account.
Great NoSQL Database as Cassandra Alternative
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and Cloud Native. Like Cassandra, but even better.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing to report. We also use Azure, and it's not yet there yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A large scale distributed DB in the cloud where Cassandra was also being considered
Best NoSQL Database
What do you like best about the product?
It outperforms other DBMS like AWS, CockroachDB ,etc. Most cost efficient and less latency. It has one of the best community support as it is open-source.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's documentation is quite difficult to understand. Rest everything is perfect and there are many advantages of ScyllaDB as compared to other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our cost per project has been decreased and efficiency of work has also been increased. The plug-and-play kafka connector is really fantastic.
Extremely Powerful Database, and Education System
What do you like best about the product?
Scylla DB has helped us scale an extensive event-driven system within my company that is at the core of our product, fearlessly and seemlessly. It's a system that can't afford any potential downtime, and with Scylla at the heart, our read and write latencies have been excellent even at our peak hours! Another thing I love about the Scylla Org is Scylla University, it provides extremely helpful resources getting up and running with Scylla, and also best practices in how to model data, which is extremely helpful as I come from a relational database background.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from a developer background, I still find the overhead of manual deployments a painful experience, between standing up EC2 instances on AWS and making sure configs match can be a source of a headache. Luckily the Scylla team has been pushing their K8 Operator forward so that I can get the benefits of a quick standup of a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving a significant issue of tech debt with Scylla. We've migrated our event-driven architecture where we collect our user's health stats and data through our platform that was written initially to a MongoDB store that was becoming an unwieldy monolith, to Scylla, which sped up our response times to customers when they wanted that data and also enabled us to store even more information robustly. We've unlocked ourselves from this monolithic architecture with Mongo to a highly extendable, modular platform with Scylla providing the performance we need at the scale we want at the heart of it all!

ScyllaDB review
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best NoSQL Database in my opinion is the ScyllaDB. The Scylla clusters with automatic backup are accessed by ScyllaDB, I like the performance of ScyllaDB and security hardening aswell.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike about the context switch, the threads require a context switch that is slow and also the lack of multi partition transactions, these are dislikes in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I'm solving with ScyllaDB is to store the unstructured data. And also the cloud is the best. I can manage clusters with automatic backup as well. So overall ScyllaDB is the best in my opinion.
