Tantan Connects with ScyllaDB to Help Singles Find Their Closest Match

Tantan, a locality-based dating app with over 10 million daily active users, connects singles by offering profiles that incorporate photos, likes, and interests, allowing users to match through swipes and interact via texts and multimedia. To manage real-time user location data and maintain low latency for its mixed read and write workloads, Tantan initially used two 16-node Cassandra clusters but faced significant latency issues, largely due to garbage collection. By transitioning to an 8-node ScyllaDB cluster, Tantan effectively addressed these challenges, reducing latency and database management costs, while benefiting from ScyllaDB's efficient handling of real-time data and support from its community.
