ScyllaDB is a real-time big data database that is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB.
ScyllaDB is designed for always-on high availability and reliability, there’s no single point of failure. It’s designed for data-intensive apps that require high performance and low latency.
It uses a sharded design on each node where each CPU core handles a different subset of data. Cores do not share data, but rather communicate explicitly when they need to. As such, each core acts independently as an isolated resource. It’s claimed this design allows ScyllaDB to achieve much better performance on modern NUMA SMP machines, and to scale very well with the number of cores.
