Voice of Experience: IBM Cloud’s Compose for JanusGraph Uncovers Advantages of ScyllaDB

IBM's Open Tech and Performance teams conducted a series of tests to evaluate ScyllaDB against Apache Cassandra and HBase in terms of performance and scalability for use in IBM Cloud's Compose for JanusGraph. The tests revealed that ScyllaDB significantly outperformed its counterparts, achieving nearly 35% higher throughput than HBase and almost three times the throughput of Cassandra in the first test, while in the second test, it showed 160% better throughput than HBase and more than four times that of Cassandra. ScyllaDB also proved to be the easiest to cluster, with user-friendly features like self-tuning capabilities and efficient load balancing that allow it to maximize system resource utilization. The IBM Compose team expressed satisfaction with ScyllaDB's performance advantages and clustering ease, encouraging further exploration of its capabilities.
