Introduction

ScyllaDB is a highly available Real-time Big Data Database that can achieve high throughput without compromising latencies or availability. ScyllaDB is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra but employs a different internal architecture to make sure that operational capacity is increased while the maintenance burden is reduced. It provides everything that a new-world database must provide: horizontal (infinite) scaling, no single point of failure, high availability and excellent performance, while keeping a sensible amount of operational efforts.

It uses the same CQL and Thrift protocols as Cassandra and the same file formats (SSTables).

Build

  Note: As date of writing, Scylla version used is ee61660b76a40d2657170cd9775c381d8c45ed06@master.
