Company profile
researched Aug 2026ScyllaDB develops a distributed NoSQL database aimed at data-intensive applications that require high throughput and predictable low latency. The company positions the product for real-time AI workloads, including feature stores handling millions of operations per second, low-latency inference, and vector search across billions of embeddings, with petabyte-scale storage and single-digit millisecond latency targets.
The database is also marketed as a drop-in alternative to other NoSQL systems: ScyllaDB presents itself as a replacement for Amazon DynamoDB, citing roughly 50% lower cost, and as a replacement for Apache Cassandra. Alongside the self-managed database, the company offers ScyllaDB Cloud, a database-as-a-service offering.
Business model
ScyllaDB offers a distributed NoSQL database together with ScyllaDB Cloud, a managed database-as-a-service. Prospects are invited to get started with the cloud service or to book a free technical consultation with an expert for evaluation guidance.
Traction
The company publishes customer stories describing deployments such as feature stores for billion-scale e-commerce, storage for data from hundreds of thousands of simultaneously running sources, and recommendation systems spanning more than 180 million subscribers.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
ScyllaDB competes in the low-latency NoSQL database market, explicitly comparing itself with Amazon DynamoDB, Apache Cassandra and Aerospike, and emphasizing cost and performance advantages over DynamoDB.
Positioning centers on predictable single-digit millisecond latency at very large scale, roughly 50% lower cost than Amazon DynamoDB, and a migration path away from Apache Cassandra operational burden.
Technology
A distributed NoSQL database engineered for high throughput and predictable single-digit millisecond latency at scale, supporting millions of operations per second, billions of vector embeddings for RAG, agentic and semantic search use cases, and petabytes of storage. It provides compatibility paths for workloads migrating from Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Cassandra.
Go-to-market
Developer-oriented marketing through virtual workshops, masterclasses, webinars, technical blog posts and video tech talks, plus the company-hosted P99 CONF event for developers focused on high-performance, low-latency applications. Free technical consultations and self-service sign-up for ScyllaDB Cloud serve as entry points.
Engineering teams at companies of varying sizes running data-intensive, latency-sensitive applications, including real-time AI and recommendation systems, e-commerce feature stores, large-scale telemetry ingestion from hundreds of thousands of concurrent sources, and social media relationship recommendations across subscriber bases in the hundreds of millions.
