Development

ScyllaDB is the perfect fit for developers dealing with large or rapidly growing data. It offers a flexible schema with key-key-value pairs to accommodate evolving data structures, avoiding data inconsistencies in rigid, predefined SQL schemas and overly loose schemaless document store environments as data use changes.
