Rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library optimized for I/O operations and offers good documentation

  • June 28, 2024
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use it as a non-relational database. We use it to store two things:

  1. To store audit log data and
  2. blob data, including images with different sizes, like 200kb.

We use it as an image database as well, such as user profile pictures and product catalog promotional pictures.

How has it helped my organization?

We got Free Community Software for Managing the Blob data for Cross Data Center & Distributed Cluster

What is most valuable?

ScyllaDB is a rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library called Seastar, which was developed by ScyllaDB.

Seastar is optimized for I/O operations, which makes it very good compared to Cassandra. Like it's ten times better in terms of performance.

The documentation is good. It integrates easily with our existing data infrastructure.

What needs improvement?

If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for Seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have never faced any problems. As per my use case and our environment, it is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's pretty good. It offers everything we need at this time. It's a scalable product.

In my organization, all 55 people across six products use ScyllaDB.

How are customer service and support?

We have never contacted customer service and support. It's all working great. So, never needed the support

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We tried MongoDB & Cassandra. It wasn't scalable at that time, like six or seven years ago. Then we moved to Cassandra and then ScyllaDB.

How was the initial setup?

With best computing resources: If you have good computing resources like CPUs, memory, and especially solid-state drives (SSDs), the installation and configuration are very easy.

Without the best computing resources: If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode.

What about the implementation team?

NO

What was our ROI?

YES

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's free. Only support is costly. So the support is an extra cost, which is expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We tried MongoDB & Cassandra. It wasn't scalable at that time, like six years ago. Then we moved to ScyllaDB.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend to use it. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use ScyllaDB for the first time.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
