We initially looked at Cassandra. We liked its use case, we liked its scalability. However we also ran into maintenance and setup pains.

We ended up going with ScyllaDB, which is a drop in replacement for Cassandra. It’s written in C. Much easier in resource demands and we didn’t have to deal with Zookeeper directly.

Cassandra doesn't require Zookeeper

Ah, good to know. Our admins set up Zookeeper with Cassandra, so I had always assumed it was part of the deal.

And Scylladb may have a better thread-per-core model and no GC pauses, it basically has the exact same management challenges as Cassandra.

Dumb statements all around, but clearly you've never been in a Cassandra environment vs Scylla. Scylla is far, far more reliable, easier to get up and running, and required a bit less supervision than Cassandra.
