ERICK PACHECO
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 Scylla 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?

YugabyteDB Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to YugabyteDB?
TiDB
Inspired by the design of Google F1, TiDB supports the best features of both traditional RDBMS and NoSQL.
Cassandra
Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically repartition as machines are added and removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL.
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.
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.
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.
