ScyllaDB University’s Journey Featured at the OEB Conference in Berlin

ScyllaDB University was created to address the need for comprehensive, scalable, and accessible training for users of ScyllaDB's technical products, which was initially challenging due to limited resources for face-to-face training. The initiative began before the COVID-19 pandemic, but demand increased significantly during it, prompting the development of an online, self-paced training program that is free for users and cost-effective for the company. The platform, built using WordPress and the Learndash LMS, offers a flexible and robust solution that aligns with ScyllaDB's open-source culture, featuring multiple courses, hands-on labs, and quizzes. It has evolved to include ScyllaDB University LIVE, a quarterly online event with tracks for beginners and advanced users, fostering interaction and engagement through live presentations and chat features. The success of ScyllaDB University has been reflected in positive feedback from users and its role in enhancing the company's understanding of user engagement, as well as improving search visibility for broader database industry terms. The platform continues to develop with ongoing improvements aimed at increasing community engagement and maintaining current, relevant content.
