Zenly Discusses Going from Elasticsearch to ScyllaDB at ScyllaDB Summit 2017

Jean-Baptiste Dalido, the Head of Infrastructure at Zenly, shared insights into the company's migration from Elasticsearch to ScyllaDB, highlighting the challenges and successes encountered in the process. With a background in managing heavy-load databases and a preference for distributed systems, Dalido discussed the reasons behind choosing ScyllaDB, such as its robust performance and suitability for production use, which enabled Zenly to handle over 600,000 requests per second with minimal nodes. He emphasized the differences in data model tuning between ScyllaDB and Apache Cassandra and noted that ScyllaDB has become the sole database at Zenly, aside from Redis, which is still used for caching. Dalido's upcoming talk at the ScyllaDB Summit 2017 aims to illustrate the practical benefits of ScyllaDB and engage in discussions about its potential for various use cases.
