ScyllaDB Open Source Release 3.3

ScyllaDB Open Source 3.3 is a newly released version of the NoSQL database known for its compatibility with Apache Cassandra and superior performance. This release focuses on bug fixes and stability while introducing several experimental features such as Lightweight Transactions (LWT), Change Data Capture (CDC), an Amazon DynamoDB-compatible API called Alternator, and Lua-based User Defined Functions (UDFs). These features are intended to enhance database capabilities, though they remain in experimental stages until further stabilization. ScyllaDB 3.3 also includes enhancements like improved snapshot schema handling, better memory management for large collections, and new client connection information tables, while support for older versions is phased out. The release aims to offer a more resilient and feature-rich database experience, with ongoing improvements and community feedback playing a crucial role in the development of these experimental features before they reach general availability.
