Project Circe June Update

In June 2021, ScyllaDB made significant progress across its projects, highlighted by the upcoming release of ScyllaDB Open Source 4.5, which introduces features like the ability to load and stream SSTables for easier data migration and restoration. The update also enhances the DynamoDB-compatible API within Project Alternator and implements foundational Raft changes to support future capabilities. Additionally, ScyllaDB optimized its Change Data Capture (CDC) feature, especially for large clusters, and integrated it into ScyllaDB Cloud. Other updates include ScyllaDB Enterprise 2021.1.2, which offers LDAP support and a new GCP image, and improvements in the ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack, Manager, and Operator. The company emphasizes its strong release cadence, which allows for rapid feature addition and bug fixing, and compares its development pace with other open-source projects like Apache Spark and Kafka. ScyllaDB also encourages participation in its University LIVE Summer Session, offering insights into ScyllaDB operations and its integration with big data architectures such as Apache Spark and Kafka.
