ScyllaDB Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to ScyllaDB?

MySQL

MySQL

The MySQL software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.

MongoDB

MongoDB

MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding.

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft® SQL Server is a database management and analysis system for e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions.

SQLite

SQLite

SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.

MariaDB

MariaDB

Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry. MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.

Needs adviceonYugabyteDBYugabyteDBScyllaDBScyllaDB

Hello everyone, I am searching for the appropriate solution for a financial use case. I want to handle user balancing in a distributed way. I did a little research and have found YugabyteDB as a solution that offers distributed ACID. Although, I have also found that ScyllaDB seems great in terms of TPS. So I wonder which solutions fit better, or maybe there is another great option I am not considering.

Please guys, what do you think?

At Pushnami we were using Redis for quite a long time, and still do for disposable caches. However as we continued to grow, we started to feel limitations of keeping data sets in memory, and only being able to use 1 CPU per server. We started to look around. Our requirements were pretty clear:

  • Very fast reads and writes (sub ms)
  • Ability to hold Terabytes of data
  • Ability to horizontally scale
  • Strong support for TTL and data eviction After looking at several alternatives we decided on @{Scylla}|tool:6895| , which had familiar Cassandra interface but claimed to be much faster. 2 years later - we run a cluster of 6 nodes that holds over 20 TB of data, and performs 150,000 operations per second. I would say pretty impressive! It was also easy to get started on AWS, as ScyllaDB provides prebuilt AMI with optimal configurations baked in.

ScyllaDB provides all of the goodies of Apache Cassandra, including HA, multiDC, replication sharding and so forth. The implementation is in C++ and the internal design is better and thus it achieves 10X the throughput, low 99% latency and more scylladb
