ScyllaDB Virtual Workshops
Blog post from ScyllaDB
ScyllaDB Virtual Workshops are designed to enhance participants' understanding of ScyllaDB, a NoSQL database, through bi-monthly sessions that include demonstrations, design principles, and Q&A discussions. The workshops focus on practical deployment using Docker, addressing real-world big data use cases, and are ideal for professionals with basic Linux/Docker experience and familiarity with NoSQL. Attendees, including database architects and developers, can benefit from insights on monitoring, migration strategies from systems like Apache Cassandra, and optimizing system performance with ScyllaDB's tools such as ScyllaDB Manager and Monitoring Stack. The sessions also cover compatibility with Cassandra drivers, the use of shard-aware drivers for performance improvements, and considerations for database scaling and node reduction. Additionally, participants can learn about the integration of ScyllaDB with Kubernetes, Prometheus for metrics exposure, and the use of directly-connected SSDs for optimal throughput. Upcoming workshops and on-demand webinars are available for continued learning and engagement with ScyllaDB's community.
