NoSQL Shop Talk Overheard in ScyllaDB’s Virtual Workshops

ScyllaDB's Virtual Workshops provide an interactive platform for database architects, developers, and managers to explore the workings of ScyllaDB's NoSQL distributed database. Attendees have diverse latency expectations, with a significant focus on achieving fast read times, and data volume expectations mainly in the 1–10 terabyte range. The workshops reveal varied payload sizes and throughput goals, with many participants planning to deploy on AWS, and a minority on Google Cloud or Azure. While the technical depth of the workshops is generally well-received, additional resources such as ScyllaDB University courses are available for those seeking different levels of technical detail. The workshops also address questions about ScyllaDB's indexing approaches, Kubernetes support, and recommended AWS instance types, emphasizing the importance of tailored solutions based on specific use case requirements.
