Snapfish’s Journey Towards ScyllaDB

Snapfish, a leading photo retail company with over 100 million members and extensive data storage needs, sought to improve its database performance and scalability by evaluating ScyllaDB as an alternative to their current system. Faced with the challenge of processing high volumes during peak periods, Snapfish found ScyllaDB to be significantly more efficient in hardware management and performance, achieving five times faster operations than their existing setup. The transition to ScyllaDB was deemed straightforward due to its compatibility with Snapfish's required functions and features, and it also promised cost savings through lower licensing fees compared to their previous technology. Their positive evaluation results were shared at the ScyllaDB Summit 2017, highlighting ScyllaDB as a powerful NoSQL database solution.
