Key Features

• Shard-Per-Core Architecture: Each CPU core gets its own shard, optimizing resource usage and minimizing contention between operations.
• High Availability: Designed with no single point of failure; supports multi-datacenter replication for geographically dispersed resilience.
• Superior Performance: Written in C++ using the Seastar framework to achieve highly asynchronous operations without garbage collection stalls.
• API Compatibility: Seamless integration with existing Cassandra and DynamoDB ecosystems through compatible APIs.
• Innovative Compaction Strategies: Features like Incremental Compaction reduce storage overhead and improve overall database performance.
• Advanced Caching: Hot partitions are cached in memory to provide swift data access and improved read performance.
• Workload Prioritization: Allows prioritizing different workloads to ensure critical tasks are completed first.
• Distributed Design: Data is evenly distributed across the cluster using a virtual ring architecture for balanced workloads.
• No Vendor Lock-In: Deployable on any cloud platform or on-premises environment, offering flexibility and avoiding single-vendor dependency.
• Fully Managed DBaaS Option: ScyllaDB Cloud provides a hassle-free database as a service for those who prefer managed solutions.
