ScyllaDB Closes $16M in Series B Funding

Congratulations to the team!

I would love to move over from Apache Cassandra to Scylla but honestly I'm a bit afraid to do that. I have no doubt that it's much faster but I haven't seen hard numbers about consistency and availability. Apache Cassandra is a much older project with many installations and is battle tested (to a degree) how can I be sure that Scylla will behave as stable as Cassandra in that regard?

We use 1.6 in production on AWS i3.16xlarges and it's great. We've seen a reduction to less than half the nodes and over 100k per node requests/sec (up from 4k req/sec for Cassandra). Very few issues and those that come up get immediate attention from core developers that actually wrote the code you're having issues with.

Absolutely 100% recommend.

We use v1.5 in production and it's been very stable. Team is responsive on issues (github and mailing list).

They dont have 100% parity yet with all cassandra features so waiting for that to move more work over to scylla, but performance per machine and lack of tuning hassle is very nice.

We don't use it for any production services, but for internal use it's been pretty darn solid. Really fast too, we benchmarked 80k/sec/node inserts on EC2.
