I would recommend ScyllaDB to others. It’s a great product built on Cassandra, with added advantages. For newcomers, it’s a distributed database with excellent scalability and performance and very low latency for all kinds of operations. Overall, I’d rate ScyllaDB an eight out of ten.
If you already use Cassandra, you can probably consider using ScyllaDB; otherwise, just avoid it. Using ScyllaDB isn't that hard. Setting it up on the infrastructure side is the same as Kafka. Using Kafka is a piece of cake, but managing and setting it up is difficult. So, using ScyllaDB is not hard, but there are lots of unknown unknowns that you only discover after you get the bill or have users, and then you need DevOps help. Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten.

I have been working on the solution for around a month, so it is mostly the people involved in the cloud tech department who look at things like the maintenance of the solution, an area in which I have no idea. A weird error can pop up owing to the flaws in the documentation, because of which I am using an ORM tool to interact with the database. If required in a particular use case, I return a list of objects, or a list of a user data type, when it throws an error indicating that I should reimplement the codec. When I changed the codec to set, it started working fine. The aforementioned issue was not figurable even in Stack Overflow. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
ScyllaDB is an open-source, distributed NoSQL wide-column datastore (a highly scalable NoSQL database), known for its compatibility with Apache Cassandra, and for supporting the same protocols as Cassandra (CQL and Thrift) and the same file formats (SSTable). ScyllaDB is designed for high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for data-intensive applications. Its architecture allows it to deliver remarkable performance on a massive scale, utilizing modern multi-core servers...
