- PeterCorless 7y agoLossless compression algorithms are vital to make sure that your big data doesn't become unmanageably huge. Compression algorithms help users save on hardware and storage expenditure. But the wrong compression algorithm can lead to poor performance. Kamil Braun wrote a great explainer on how this works in ScyllaDB, part one of two in a series. Stay tuned, because part two will get into performance characteristics!
