ScyllaDB X Cloud uses a tablet-based architecture to rapidly scale up and scale down individual databases, using disk space more efficiently, and speeding network transfers.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The New Stack

ScyllaDB launched X Cloud, a managed database service that uses tablet-based architecture for rapid scaling. The service can scale from 100,000 to 2 million operations per second while maintaining single-digit millisecond P99 latency. ScyllaDB guarantees X Cloud costs 50% less than AWS DynamoDB. Key features include autoscaling, 90% storage utilization, up to 80% data compression, flexible node sizing (2-128 cores), and 25x faster data streaming on ARM Graviton4 instances. The service includes a DynamoDB-compatible API called Alternator for easy migration.
