Kiwi.com: Nonstop Operations with ScyllaDB Even Through the OVHcloud Fire
Blog post from ScyllaDB
In the aftermath of a fire at the OVHcloud Strasbourg datacenter, Kiwi.com demonstrated remarkable resilience due to its use of ScyllaDB, a NoSQL database known for high availability and disaster recovery capabilities. The fire, which began on March 10, 2021, and resulted in the destruction of several data rooms, affected millions of websites. Despite losing ten out of thirty server nodes, Kiwi.com's ScyllaDB cluster continued to operate effectively by leveraging its multi-local infrastructure, designed to distribute data across three geographically separated datacenters. This setup allowed for seamless load redistribution and zero data loss. The incident highlighted the importance of disaster planning and testing full datacenter outages regularly, as well as maintaining sufficient capacity to handle unexpected events. Kiwi.com's foresight in creating a robust system ensured minimal service disruption, underscoring the value of investing in geographically distributed data replication.
