Build, maintain, and run databases that are easy to scale and quick to query—all with ScyllaDB.

ScyllaDB in Action is your guide to everything you need to know about ScyllaDB, from your very first queries to running it in a production environment. It starts you with the basics of creating, reading, and deleting data and expands your knowledge from there. You'll soon have mastered everything you need to build, maintain, and run an effective and efficient database.

InsideScyllaDB in Action you'll learn how to:
Read, write, and delete data in ScyllaDB
Design database schemas for ScyllaDB
Write performant queries against ScyllaDB
Connect and query a ScyllaDB cluster from an application
Configure, monitor, and operate ScyllaDB in production

This book teaches you ScyllaDB the best way—through hands-on examples. Dive into the node-based architecture of ScyllaDB to understand how its distributed systems work, how you can troubleshoot problems, and how you can constantly improve performance.

about the technology
ScyllaDB is a versatile NoSQL database that can move large volumes of data fast. Very, very, very fast. This drop-in replacement for Cassandra takes full advantage of modern multi-core hardware and scales to handle large real-time data workloads with incredibly low latency. It features built-in monitoring and management tools, and its efficient use of computing resources can save a lot of money on high-volume applications.

about the book
ScyllaDB in Action demonstrates how to integrate ScyllaDB into data-intensive applications. You’ll work through a hands-on project step by step as you use ScyllaDB to store data and learn to configure, monitor, and safely operate a distributed database. Along the way, you’ll discover how ScyllaDB’s unique “shard per core” approach helps you deliver impressive performance in real-time systems.

Compared with relational databases, ScyllaDB brings two big weapons to the Great Database Battle Royale: scalability and fault tolerance. It is a distributed database that runs multiple nodes to store and serve data. This distribution simplifies scalability; to add additional capacity, operators only need to add more nodes. By providing users with the capability to tune how many nodes respond to a query, ScyllaDB also provides fault tolerance because the system can handle the loss of a configurable number of nodes before being unable to serve requests.

Who should read this book:
ScyllaDB in Action is written for anyone looking to learn ScyllaDB or work with it. To get the best out of it, you should have some basic familiarity with SQL. You’ve probably written a SELECT statement before, and that knowledge will assist you throughout the book as you learn about Scylla. If you’re a database expert, that’s okay too! You’ll get to break some habits and pick up some new ones to effectively use ScyllaDB. You should also have some experience with a programming language—preferably Python, as you’ll use it to build the sample application to learn about the database driver and its client-side features.
