ScyllaDB Benchmarks

Menu

Selecting the right database for your application is an important task. At ScyllaDB we constantly test Scylla against Cassandra for throughput and latency. Database latency determines your application speed, while database throughput defines how many users your application can service. ScyllaDB uses various testing tools such as industry YCSB benchmarks and dedicated Cassandra Stress tests.
