Kubernetes Operator for Scylla (Pre-release version
⚠️ )
Scylla is a close-to-the-hardware rewrite of Cassandra in C++. It features a shared nothing architecture that enables true linear scaling and major hardware optimizations that achieve ultra-low latencies and extreme throughput. It is a drop-in replacement for Cassandra and uses the same interfaces.
To quickly deploy a Scylla cluster, choose one of the following options:
- Minikube: super quick and easy way to get started with the Scylla operator.
- GKE: advanced guide for deploying Scylla with the best performance settings.
