Awesome Dives Into ScyllaDB
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that ScyllaDB does a great job at using fewer resources than Apache Cassandra. For example, it uses much less memory and a faster boot time or start-up time.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB lacks standalone binary executables for Apple SIlicon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing me to use fewer resources (i.e. memory and the number of nodes) to accomplish my project requirements.ScyllaDB solves scalability, performance, and high availability challenges by offering a distributed NoSQL database with low-latency reads and writes. It benefits me by efficiently handling high-throughput event-driven workloads, reducing operational overhead, and ensuring fault tolerance. Its shard-per-core architecture maximizes hardware utilization, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional databases. For Phoenix applications, this means better responsiveness under heavy loads, improved resilience, and the ability to scale horizontally without complex database management.
ScyllaDB provides lightweight database and the great support.
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using ScyllaDB since 2018. It is lightweight and easy to maintain. Compared to the other DBs we are using today, ScyllaDB is more cost-efficient. I would also like to give a thumbs up to the support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, I don't have too much on my mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a lightweight and cost-efficient database to store our data. ScyllaDB does give us such benefits, and we believe it will provide us with more. We recently leveraged Scylla Alternator to replace the usage of DynamoDB.
Best for performance seekers
What do you like best about the product?
It just works! Even when some nodes are down, production servers don't go down. Monitoring and managing are great when you compare them to what Cassandra has. It also has great client drivers, which enhances the experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many things to dislike because I understand this is how the ScyllaDB/Cassandra works. But it would be great to have multi-key transactions and be able to convert float columns to double columns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When implementing social feed in our product, we chose ScyllaDB, which handled it very well. We also use ScyllaDB for storing keys with long blob values. Also, our new product's primary storage source is ScyllaDB because it can handle substantial random writes/reads. We just love ScyllaDB and keep using it.
We are using ScylllaDB for #1 Image(or picture) storage cluster and Non-relational DB
What do you like best about the product?
It provides the best Writes IOPs with SSDs in our Primary and Secondary Datacenter setups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The current Scylla JMX module is using only JDK 8 by default. Please provide options to point the Scyall JMX to use existing JDK versions.

Easy Onboarding for Independent Developers
What do you like best about the product?
Getting onboard was easy. I was able to create an account, enable 2FA, create a free demo cluster, and connect in about 10 minutes. This was much more efficient compared to setting up NoSQL clusters on other services. I also appreciate that getting dependencies installed was as simple as running `pip install scylla-driver`
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found any downsides yet. I guess the main thing at this point is learning a new cloud and how to interact with it. But at the same time, the python interface that I'm used to with other DBs is relatively similar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB provides a quick, vendor-neutral interface to a Database as a Service. As an independent developer, I need to be able to stand up services quickly and, often, hand them over to other people to manage. It seems like this will be a straight foward process with ScyllaDB without having to set up additional roles and permissions for 3rd parties to access the datastore.
Performant db even in low resources
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Scylladb performs best, even under very low resources with very little TCO.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is relatively new, so has not much support for all languages like, PHP. Learning curve is also higher for the first time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it specifically for our needs to serve high throughput writes.
Best database for high data volume realtime applications
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to migrate from Cassandra and get a high improvement in application performance.
Easy steps for management of backup and disaster-recovery of database.

What do you dislike about the product?
In comparision to its peers, I do not see any major drawbacks in ScyllaDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very low latency is the most important metric in realtime healthcare applications and ScyllaDB helps the most ij achieving the required low latency numbers.
ScyllaDB: the new age nosql and better replacement of Cassandra.
What do you like best about the product?
Lightweight and fast as it's built on C++
Way better than Cassandra (that we previously used). Low latency and high throughput as compared to Cassandra.

What do you dislike about the product?
Data export can be improvised.
The cost is a bit high, especially the yearly one.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Scylla for our alerting service, where we persist our subscription-related data and other domain related data.
Previously we are storing these in Cassandra, and during the scaling, we are facing issues when the load is very high at times.
With Scylla, we were able to take care of latency problems and scale out the service during peak hours.

A robust real-time Nosql DB supporting lightweight transactions
What do you like best about the product?
We chose ScyllaDB over Redis because of the Lightweight transactions it supports. Being able to update partitions was a necessity for us. Also, university.scylladb.com has good resources for getting started for a new user.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no tools for bulk importing and exporting of the data. We have to build and maintain our custom applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ScyllaDB for caching the session state of user sessions on our gaming apps. With each time interval or stage the users advance to, we have to read the state, take decisions and then update the state within a few milliseconds. We also use this key-value store for finding out highly active users, users who are dormant and users who are stuck at any stage for long time. With our confidence growing in ScyllaDB, we are planning to build many other use cases around the database.
Performance Champion with simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
The performance of ScyllaDB is one of its key advantages. It is the perfect option for applications that demand real-time data processing because it is built to handle massive amounts of data with extremely low latencies. ScyllaDB can manage expanding data demands without suffering from performance deterioration because it is very scalable.
The fault-tolerance of ScyllaDB is another important aspect. Data is replicated across numerous nodes since it is meant to operate in a distributed context. This minimises any potential downtime by ensuring that even if one node fails, the data may still be accessed from other nodes.
ScyllaDB is also simple to use and incorporate into existing applications. It supports a range of programming languages and has a number of integrations with other

What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB can be more sophisticated than some other NoSQL databases, despite the fact that it is intended to be simple to use and integrate into current applications. The technical knowledge needed to deploy and configure it could be a hurdle for some enterprises.ScyllaDB is designed to handle only a few types of data, including time-series data and key-value data. Although it can manage different forms of data, it might not be the greatest option for applications that call for more intricate data models.ScyllaDB is a newer database, so it's possible that it has a less developed ecosystem than some other databases. This implies that compared to more established databases, ScyllaDB may have fewer resources, tools, and third-party connectors available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem which scylladb is solving is performance, which includes low latency and high throughput. Our systems relies on performant databases and scylladb definitely helps out in this case.
