To truly understand the difference between tablets and vNodes, we evaluated how ScyllaDB (tablets) and Cassandra (vNodes) compare under realistic conditions when they must increase capacity under active traffic. See what happened when we expanded both clusters step by step, captured how quickly capacity came online, how much the running workload was affected, and how each system performed after each expansion. https://ow.ly/gc0V50XWan6

Benchmarks show ScyllaDB tablet-based scaling 7.2× faster than Cassandra's vNode-based scaling (9× with cleanup), sustaining ~3.5X higher throughput with fewer errors

We've talked about how ScyllaDB X Cloud scales from 10K to 1M ops/sec and back down again with single-digit millisecond latency, but enough talk, we want to show you how it's done. Faisal Saeed shows how X Cloud scales out to increase capacity and then quickly scales back down following a high-traffic sales event. https://ow.ly/zp4e50Z56Xf

Watch along to see how fast ScyllaDB X Cloud scales from 10K to 1M ops/sec and back down again – with single-digit millisecond latency

The label "key-value" is one of the most overloaded terms in the database industry. Grouping systems that map a string to an opaque blob together with wide-column systems that support complex, element-level updates obscures the architectural choices that drive your cloud infrastructure bills.
