Great for alomost all usecase. Provides caching, sharding out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Scylladb as a primary db for one of our services. There is seemless transition from casandaradb. Apart from these it satisfies scalabiliy, reliability constraints which is required for high throughput services like ours. The documentation is also very well done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike here, it could have been great if there would be an out of the box driver from spring boot. We have to manually add the driver jar into the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a database which is easiser to implement and understand. It should give basic features like caching, auto scalling out of the box. It should be reliable and tested in real world usecases.
ScyllaDB was a perfect choice for this problems as it has all these feature we required.
Perfect DB for most of the usecases
What do you like best about the product?
Its affordable, scaleable, noSQL DB, comes with a free trial, its open source. Customer support is also impressive. Its also not challenging for beginner as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we use it initaially, might be challenging for few users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our use case was to handle a considerable amount of requests per second and need a database which can be easy to do a POC as well as can be deployed to production.
Very good user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and more reliable, cost effective
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now nothing dislike about scylla DB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scylla DB support more scalable
Rewrite of Cassandra in C++ and uses a special library optimized for I/O operations and offers good documentation
What is our primary use case?
We use it as a non-relational database. We use it to store two things:
- To store audit log data and
- 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.
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 five 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. 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'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.
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Understanding ScyllaDB's Architecture - How It Predicts Single-Digit Millisecond Latencies
What do you like best about the product?
The product set of ScyllaDB really stands out with its high throughput and low latency oriented, which is perfect for use cases where real-time interaction is important.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is evident that ScyllaDB is fast but can be complicated depending on the configuration as well as being slightly non-ACID compliant. It offers an excellent service for long-time users but could be confusing to newcomers, and projects with very high standards of consistency will be better off with a different tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With ScyllaDB, there is a solution to the problem of working with Big Data in terms of throughput and latency requirements necessary for real-time applications. Being a DBaaS it comes with simplicity, flexibility, and minimal overheads to users so that they can devote their time and energies to the application development part.
ScyllaDB ; Scalable and high performance database for your needs
What do you like best about the product?
