6 Reasons to Switch from DataStax to ScyllaDB

ScyllaDB and DataStax Enterprise both originate from Apache Cassandra, but ScyllaDB distinguishes itself by being a complete rewrite in C++, optimized for modern hardware and free from legacy Java code constraints, such as JVM Garbage Collection pauses. This architectural choice confers advantages in performance and reliability, making ScyllaDB a compelling alternative for those considering database solutions. A whitepaper detailing the reasons to switch from DataStax to ScyllaDB outlines key benefits such as price-performance, operational simplicity, maintainability, and ease of migration, alongside a feature comparison of the two databases. For individuals interested in exploring these differences further, ScyllaDB offers resources like webinars, a Slack channel for community interaction, and educational courses through ScyllaDB University.
