We’re Honored to Receive the InfoWorld 2020 Technology of the Year Award

ScyllaDB was honored with an InfoWorld 2020 Technology of the Year Award, recognized alongside prominent technologies such as Tableau and Datadog, reflecting its significant advancements and contributions to modern infrastructure. This enterprise database product, developed to achieve feature parity with Apache Cassandra, has begun to challenge DynamoDB with its new compatible API. ScyllaDB, implemented in C++, focuses on performance optimization by prioritizing real-time transactions and efficiently utilizing CPU resources even at 100% capacity. The database offers durable and fast Lightweight Transactions, global and local secondary indexes, and an elegantly implemented Change Data Capture feature. It also supports large data objects and nodes, requires no manual tuning, and incorporates io_uring for improved performance. ScyllaDB integrates with various tools like Confluent’s Kafka and Datadog for enhanced functionality, and its success is attributed to user-driven development and continuous improvements, with a promise of future initiatives.
