Our annual #P99CONF brings technologists together to discuss the latest experiments, optimizations, ideas, and lessons learned. If you have an idea or a big problem that you've solved, we invite you to submit your session idea today! www.p99conf.io/2025/05/05/c...
#ScyllaDB
💪 Monday motivation: We kick off our live in India and APAC Monster Scale Summit on April 29, and will be featuring technical sessions from @kelseyhightower.com, @martin.kleppmann.com, @chris.blue , @dorlaor.bsky.social, @avikivity.bsky.social, and more. lp.scylladb.com/monster-scal...
#ScyllaDB
How long would it take to summarize all the progress you've made in 10 years? On March 11-12, @dorlaor.bsky.social will look back on the lessons learned from a decade of development at #ScyllaDB, as well as the launch of Scylla X Cloud and our team's focus in 2025. www.scylladb.com/monster-scal...
Day 1 of Monster Scale Summit features 18 highly technical sessions, including keynotes from @kelseyhightower.com, @dorlaor.bsky.social, @gwenshap.bsky.social, @whoisdavid.bsky.social, and @isburmistrov.bsky.social. You can still join us free here > www.scylladb.com/monster-scal...
#ScyllaDB
I have got p99 swag pack and I finally assembled my home scyllaDB cluster. Thanks @scylladb.com !
I would have expanded, why there is 280 char limit..
Since ScyllaDB is compatible with C* and DynamoDB, there is always an exit to them, with pain but a path exit
The concept of 'credible exit' to OSS is good in theory but in practice is problematic:
- Huge project: it invites plenty of forks, will force the vendor to change the license to prevent forks
- Narrow project: like high-end DB, differentiation is a must, and then the exit becomes too painful
I wrote a new blog post about analysing #ScyllaDB cluster capacity. ScyllaDB is a highly performant database that supports gradual degradation under load. The post might help in understanding its true capacity and reducing server costs to some extent. open.substack.com/pub/andectio...
The tablets feature
of ScyllaDB is very impressive. It simplifies maintenance and looks like a solid foundation for possible autoscaling www.scylladb.com/2024/12/03/e...
Please create a github issue, it will be more effective to analyze the issue there. You have a ton of tombstones and an older release. Sometimes a quicker response can be achieved on slack too
@scylladb.bsky.social has joined the party!
When we needed a horizontally scalable data store for Bluesky's v2 AppView implementation, I spent a ton of time testing and evaluating every option and ScyllaDB was the clear winner. The people there have been very nice too!

@jacob.gold cheers for your architecture post: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky
One option to consider is to keep sqlite data as a 1-2 MB blob (per dataset) in ScyllaDB, this way you can enjoy from free replication and the other properties of Scylla. Others have done it too
