Tech Talks @ AppNexus: ScyllaDB: It takes more than C++14 to become next gen C*

Dor Laor and Glauber Costa will present a tech talk at AppNexus in New York on November 25th, focusing on ScyllaDB's workload conditioning techniques, which ensure stable performance through automatic performance tuning. ScyllaDB is a high-performance alternative to Apache Cassandra, boasting wire compatibility and being ten times faster, achieved through advanced features like its own caching, malloc, log structured allocator, and a user-space TCP/IP stack. Despite these capabilities, ScyllaDB's distinguishing factor is its ability to handle various challenges such as failures, spikes, timeouts, and out-of-memory issues by dynamically adjusting system parameters in response to workload fluctuations. The talk will delve into these low-level aspects and techniques, underscoring that speed alone is insufficient without effective control, and attendees are invited to explore these insights further at the ScyllaDB Summit 2016.
