New ScyllaDB Enterprise Support and Versioning
Blog post from ScyllaDB
ScyllaDB is introducing a new Enterprise Feature Release alongside its existing Long Term Support (LTS) release strategy to align more closely with the Open Source version's latest features. This new approach allows customers to choose between a Short Term Support lane, which provides rapid access to new features, and a Long Term Support lane, which offers stability and annual major updates with only urgent bug fixes. The Enterprise Feature Release will occur 3-4 times a year, incorporating both Open Source and exclusive Enterprise features. Semantic versioning will continue to be used, with a major, minor, and patch release format, where patches focus solely on bug fixes. The change aims to prevent the Enterprise version from lagging behind the Open Source version, offering both flexibility and up-to-date functionality for users. Existing support for the two most recent major LTS versions will remain unchanged, ensuring continued stability for long-term customers.
