The benchmarks against DynamoDB, Bigtable, & CockroachDB [1] appear quite impressive - anyone have real world experience that can attest to these claims of improved performance and reduced cost?
> Scylla vs DynamoDB – Database Benchmark
> 20x better throughput in the hot-partition test
> Scylla Cloud is 1/7 the expense of DynamoDB when running equivalent workloads
> Scylla Cloud: Average replication latency of 82ms. DynamoDB: Average latency of 370ms.
> Scylla vs Bigtable – Database Benchmark
> Scylla Cloud performs 26X better than Google Cloud Bigtable when applied with real-world, unoptimized data distribution
> Google BigTable requires 10X as many nodes to accept the same workload as Scylla Cloud
> Scylla Cloud was able to sustain 26x the throughput, and with read latencies 1/800th and write latencies less than 1/100th of Cloud Bigtable
> Scylla vs CockroachDB – Database Benchmark
> Loading 10x the data into Scylla took less than half the time it took for CockroachDB to load the much lesser dataset.
> Scylla handled 10x the amount of data.
> Scylla achieved 9.3x the throughput of CockroachDB at 1/4th the latency.

- PeterCorless 5y agoWe just posted this today. Latest Cassandra 4.0 vs. Scylla 4.4. Note: Cassandra 4.0 is a HUGE improvement over Cassandra 3.11. But we're still many times faster: https://www.scylladb.com/2021/08/24/apache-cassandra-4-0-vs-scylla-4-4-comparing-performance/ https://www.scylladb.com/2021/08/24/apache-cassandra-4-0-vs-...

- manigandham 5y agoYes, Scylla does what it says. Used it in a prior adtech company and it beat everything else at that time for a very intensive key/value workload that also needed multi-regional replication. The adtech industry also uses Aerospike heavily but that (at the time) had many replication data model issues compared to Scylla/Cassandra.
- steeve 5y agoWe (@zenlyapp) have been using it for 4 years, it is as fast as advertised, it’s insane. We personally benchmarked the 10x of Cassandra.
- kasey_junk 5y agoI was unwilling to sign up to read the actual benchmark report for the comparison to cockroachdb but it jumped out at me as odd. They solve completely different kinds of problems in my experience so I’m not surprised Scylla did better in raw throughout. That’s not interesting though. It would be just as weird for cockroach to put up a benchmark showing it outperforms in distributed sql queries. That said I’ve seen the value Scylla brings in its core value prop, replacing Cassandra. It’s real good at that.
- manigandham 5y agoThey're technically both KV stores capable of offering you a tabular data model with multi-regional replication and leaderless horizontal scaling. CockroachDB is focused on consistency with full SQL support while ScyllaDB focuses on availability with high-performance.
- biggestdummy 5y agoFull report is posted here with no registration wall: https://www.scylladb.com/2021/01/21/cockroachdb-vs-scylla-benchmark/ https://www.scylladb.com/2021/01/21/cockroachdb-vs-scylla-be... And they admit that it's an odd comparison. "Obviously, the comparison is of the apples and oranges type..."
