NoSQL database, API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB, written in C++.
www.scylladb.comrepositorydocspricing
ScyllaDB is a database written in C++ that is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB. The repository README starts the server with a single command, and the DynamoDB-compatible API, called Alternator, must be enabled before it is served.
Installation offers a curl-based web installer, Linux packages, an installer that runs without root privileges, and a Docker image; the Linux install guide describes each route. ScyllaDB Ltd. maintains the project. Alongside the server code, the company offers an Enterprise edition with premium features and dedicated support, and ScyllaDB X Cloud, a managed service on AWS and GCP. The docs include a migration procedure for moving from Apache Cassandra.
