Using ScyllaDB for Extreme Scale Workloads
- 1. Using ScyllaDB for ExtremeScale Workloads Tzach Livyatan, VP Product, ScyllaDB Attila Tóth, Developer Advocate, ScyllaDB
- 2. Poll How often doyou scale your database?
- 3. Presenters Attila Tóth, DeveloperAdvocate + Working as a software engineer / dev advocate in the data space for 6+ years + Lives in Budapest, Hungary Tzach Livyatan, VP Product + Working for product manager for ages. + Lives in Tel Aviv, Israel
- 4. Agenda + Why ScyllaDB? +Scylla Use Cases + Design For High Throughput and Low Latency + Coming Soon
- 5. Why ScyllaDB? Best HighAvailability in the industry Best Disaster Recovery in the industry Best scalability in the industry Best Price/Performance in the industry Auto-tune - out of the box performance Compatible with Cassandra & DynamoDB The power of Cassandra at the speed of Redis with the usability of DynamoDB No Lock-in Open Source Software
- 6. +400 Gamechangers LeverageScyllaDB
- 7. NoSQL - ByAvailability vs Consistency Pick Two Availability Partition Tolerance Consistency Or use a more granular model, like PACELC
- 8. Document store WideColumn Key-value: Simple DB NoSQL - By data model Graph store
- 9. What is importantfor data-intensive applications? High Throughput Low Latency Predictable Cost
- 10. Predictable performance atscale Low Latency Our low-level design plus adaptive capabilities keep P99s predictably low. High Throughput Sustain millions of ops/sec with low P99s. No item or partition size limits, no throttling down your workloads. Global Scale Operate at a global scale with high availability, fewer nodes and reduced administration.

- 16. ScyllaDB vs. DynamoDB 1/5thcost 20x higher throughput ScyllaDB vs. Google Bigtable 1/5th the cost 26x higher throughput ScyllaDB vs. Cassandra 5x higher throughput 2-20x lower latency What a Difference a Database Makes
- 17. From Redis +Elasticsearch to ScyllaDB 17 <1ms P99 Zero downtime TCO
- 18. 18 “ScyllaDB provides abaseline that simplifies the whole <config> process and reduces risk and anxiety. Once in production, rather than rely on constant human intervention, ScyllaDB becomes self-tuning, dynamically adapting to real-world workloads..” - Mark Smith, Discord size, fewer nodes 8x throughput, ms P99 operational complexity
- 19. 19 “This not onlyreduced TCO, but also reduced the pain that the database engineering team was taking to actually maintain the cluster in a healthy state.” – Niraj Kothari, Dir. Platforms Engineering 55 C* nodes to 6! 80% EC2 costs 5xgrowth in clusters
- 20. TCO Speed of Redis FromRedis to ScyllaDB for Data Stores, Fraud Detection, Ad Targeting Scalability
- 21. 962 C* nodesto 78 60% TCO 95% latency “By moving to ScyllaDB Enterprise software running on AWS EC2 infrastructure and on-premises, Comcast improved P99 latency by more than 95% and were able to rip out a UI cache layer”
- 22. 22 <1ms avg Latency FromRedis to Cassandra to ScyllaDB Cloud 4-8msP99 Fault Tolerance
- 23. 23 Real-time workloads on 3AWS nodes Out-of-order solved Process all Zillow data in <1 day with no performance hit to real-time “No one even realizes we are processing the entirety of Zillow’s property and listings data.” – Dan Podhola, Principle Engineer
- 24. 24 “It was comparableto the solution with Kafka, and we didn’t have to add, manage, and maintain another data product in our ecosystem.” – Daniel Belenky, Palo Alto Networks operational complexity operational costs (for 1,000+ dbs!) app throughput

- 37. Tablets Resharding is cheap. SStablessplit at tablet boundary. Reassign tablets to shards (logical operation).
- 38. + Introduce anew layer of indirection - the tablets table + Each table has its own token range to node mapping + Mapping can change independently of node addition and removal + Different tables can have different tablet counts + Managed by Raft Implementation - Metadata System, tablets Query Replica Set Token
- 39. + Each tabletreplica is isolated into its own memtable+ SSTables + Forms its own little Log-Structured Merge Tree + With compaction and stuff + Can be migrated as a unit + Migration: copy the unit + Cleanup: delete the unit + Split/merge as the table grows/shrinks Implementation - Data Path
- 40. + Hosted onone node + But can be migrated freely if the node is down + Synchronized via Raft + Collects statistics on tables and tablets + Migrates to balance space + Evacuates nodes to decommission + Migrates to balance CPU load + Rebuilds and repairs Implementation - Load Balancer
- 42.
- 43. Upcoming: Tablet File-basedstreaming + Similar to Cassandra Zero-copy Streaming + But better ;-) + Tablets are always owned by the replica + Simply copy, done. + Up to 75% faster than Open Source for Streaming
- 44. Performance Improvements + Upto 1.5x Higher Throughput than Open Source + Up to 35% Lower Latencies (mean and P99)
- 45. Network (RPC) CompressionImprovements + Improved network compression for RPC traffic + Option of Zstd instead of LZ4 + Periodically trained dictionaries, instead compression per message + See Łukasz Paszkowski on Cheating the Cloud: 50% Savings with Compression Dictionaries at P99 CONF
