ScyllaDB Summit speaker interview: Henrik Johansson

Henrik Johansson, a Senior Software Developer at Eniro, will be speaking at the ScyllaDB Summit about utilizing ScyllaDB for a microservice-based pipeline in Go. Having transitioned from a physics background to various software development roles, Johansson's work at Eniro involves backend systems for data refinement and analysis using a range of technologies, including ScyllaDB, which was chosen for its speed and SQL-like familiarity. His team opted for ScyllaDB to replace previous systems like Redis and MongoDB, which struggled with performance due to high ID volumes and caching complexities. The switch to ScyllaDB allowed them to remove in-application caches and custom serialization code, simplifying operations and reducing headaches related to cache maintenance and synchronization. Johansson emphasizes the benefits of low-maintenance, high-speed operations with ScyllaDB, which has proved efficient in handling large amounts of data with minimal disk usage. The ScyllaDB Summit will feature various talks, including technical sessions and workshops, and is scheduled to coincide with the Cassandra Summit.
