Alternator, Our DynamoDB-Compatible API

Amazon DynamoDB users can now switch to ScyllaDB without changing a single line of application code. ScyllaDB significantly reduces the total cost of ownership, delivers lower and more consistent latencies, and expands the limitations DynamoDB places on object size, partition size, etc. You can run ScyllaDB on-premises, on your preferred cloud platforms, or on ScyllaDB’s fully-managed database as a service, ScyllaDB Cloud. You are free to access their data as you like, without pay-per-operation fees, and with more deployment options, including Docker and Kubernetes.

Lightweight Transactions

ScyllaDB’s implementation of the Paxos consensus algorithm for Lightweight Transactions (LWT) is far more efficient than Apache Cassandra and other Cassandra-compatible offerings, allowing you better performance for compare-and-set conditional update operations.

Incremental Compaction Strategy (ICS)

ScyllaDB’s unique ICS compaction strategy is an improvement on the default Size Tiered Compaction Strategy (STCS). While it shares the same read and writes amplification factors as STCS, it fixes its doubling of temporary disk usage issues by breaking huge SSTables into smaller chunks, all of which are named an SSTable run. ICS is the default compaction strategy in 2020.1.

CQL Enhancements

ScyllaDB Enterprise 2020.1 also introduced enhancements for the Cassandra Query Language (CQL), to provide more granular and efficient results, from adding new clauses such as GROUP BY and BYPASS CACHE, to enhancements in ALLOW FILTERING (such as multi-column and CONTAINS restrictions), to a LIKE operator to enable searching for patterns in user data.
