ScyllaDB: High Performance with Room for Improvement

  • November 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find ScyllaDB to offer significant strength compared to other databases, which is a major advantage for my projects. I particularly appreciate its high performance and low latency, which are crucial for my work. The thread-per-core architecture is impressive, providing linear scalability that supports massive growth effectively. This capability is what primarily attracts me to use ScyllaDB. Furthermore, I found the initial setup to be easy, making it accessible even for complex tasks. I would rate the likelihood of recommending ScyllaDB to friends or colleagues quite high, at a 9.5 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think ScyllaDB could benefit from incorporating more user guidance features. Similar to platforms like Snowflake, having additional related resources or guidance would be helpful in enhancing the user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ScyllaDB offers high performance and low latency with a thread-per-core architecture, facilitating linear scalability for massive growth and solving several project-related issues.

Powerful Backend with a Steep Learning Curve

  • November 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use ScyllaDB as the high-performance backend database for my real-time voice chat application, and I am thoroughly impressed by its ability to efficiently manage stateful information with remarkable speed and reliability. ScyllaDB effectively handles a huge volume of reads and writes effortlessly, removing the constant worry of the database becoming a bottleneck. Its reliability allows me to focus on building my application's features instead of constantly tweaking performance. Additionally, its setup was surprisingly straightforward due to Docker, as I simply pulled the official ScyllaDB image and added it to my docker-compose.yml file, which significantly reduced the complexity of installation. Its seamless integration with my Go application via the gocql driver, along with its operation inside Docker as part of my main development stack, underscores its adaptability and ease of use in diverse development environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the learning curve for ScyllaDB quite steep, especially for newcomers to distributed NoSQL databases. Transitioning from a SQL background requires a significant shift in data modeling approach, and understanding concepts like consistency levels, replication, and query patterns isn't straightforward. This complexity can be daunting and requires a dedicated effort to grasp fully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ScyllaDB to manage stateful information quickly for my real-time app, solving speed and scale issues, allowing me to focus on features rather than performance tuning.

ScyllaDB: Fast Reads & Writes, Ideal for High User Base

  • November 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate ScyllaDB's significant improvement in read and write speeds compared to Cassandra, which is crucial for our project with a large user base of around 80 million. I value the Cassandra compatibility of ScyllaDB, allowing for an easy lift and shift process. Additionally, the shard-per-core architecture is excellent for performance enhancement, particularly in high user base environments. Even though it took some time to understand its architecture initially, the potential for higher performance outweighs the learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
ScyllaDB doesn't perform well on small VMs. The initial setup took some time to understand its architecture and internal mechanisms. A relaxed CPU pinning mode could improve stability on over-subscribed cloud hosts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ScyllaDB to improve user authentication with faster read and write speeds than Cassandra, suitable for large user bases. It offers a Cassandra-compatible, shard-per-core architecture for high performance, though it struggles on small VMs.

Learning Curve Leveling Out, Promising Latency Features

  • November 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find ScyllaDB's latency to be an extremely important feature. It's crucial for me because faster response times are essential for the projects I plan to work on in the future. The security aspect of ScyllaDB also stands out as a highly valued feature. Although I'm still in the learning phase, these features are significant reasons why I am planning to use this database. Furthermore, the initial setup of ScyllaDB was relatively easy for me, despite my being new and facing some difficulties initially. Its overall usability and feature set make ScyllaDB appealing as a future choice for my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find ScyllaDB addresses latency and security concerns, which I anticipate will be very beneficial for my future projects.
