Voice of Experience: IMVU Switches from Redis to ScyllaDB

IMVU, a popular social platform with over 100,000 concurrent users, transitioned from a database architecture utilizing Memcached, MySQL, and Redis to ScyllaDB to meet its growing scalability needs. The company found ScyllaDB easy to install, maintain, and scale, achieving excellent performance results quickly. Ken Rudy, a senior software engineer at IMVU, praised the responsive support from ScyllaDB, noting quick assistance even before finalizing their enterprise contract. This transition was motivated by the need for a more efficient and scalable database solution to support IMVU's global user interactions through 3D avatars across various devices.
