mParticle Discusses Their Journey from Cassandra to ScyllaDB at ScyllaDB Summit 2017

At the ScyllaDB Summit 2017, Nayden Kolev from mParticle shares insights into their migration from Cassandra to ScyllaDB, emphasizing the challenges and processes involved in adopting a new NoSQL database solution. As a Systems Architect and Production Operations lead at mParticle, Kolev discusses his role in overcoming scalability challenges and his passion for automating infrastructure processes. His talk targets DevOps professionals and engineers, detailing mParticle's pre-ScyllaDB environment, the deployment and migration processes, and maximizing the implementation post-migration. He highlights the crucial role of ScyllaDB's support engineers in ensuring the success of their deployment, suggesting that without such support, the migration could have been significantly more challenging. The ScyllaDB Summit, taking place in San Francisco, features over 40 talks, covering technical insights, the ScyllaDB roadmap, and hands-on workshops to optimize ScyllaDB cluster usage.
