How does Scylla relates to Kafka and zookeeper here? I know a bunch of ad-tech companies that built their entire stack around JVM and scala. Those companies need to perform a bid (a whole bunch of logic ) within 100 ms ( including networking), otherwise, they got a financial penalty. Please stop being a kid who post everywhere you see JVM product your opinion on that. Kafka, Pulsar are two successful projects no matter what you think. Kafka relies on a bit outdated architecture but has the most vibrant ecosystem. Those are major pros and cons. Not a language or VM.

Did you reply to the wrong post? Redpanda uses the Seastar framework which was created by the ScyllaDB project. Scylla is high-performance C++ reimplemation of Cassandra and RedPanda seems to be chasing the same thing as an alternative to Kafka/JVM. As a 12 year adtech veteran who has built ad networks from scratch 3 times, low-latency and high-throughput are critical to ad serving infrastructure and that's why Scylla is such a better alternative to Cassandra. The only other database that gets close is Aerospike, and possibly Redis Enterprise with Flash persistence. It's entirely valid to want similar improvements for event streams as well, and as long as they keep the same external API then you don't lose any of the ecosystem advantages either.
