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.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and EPUB formats from Manning Publications.About the technologyScyllaDB 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 bookScyllaDB 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.What's insideDesign schemas for ScyllaDB.
