Built on field-proven Scylla Open Source, Scylla Enterprise includes quality assurance testing, scale, and performance testing, supported OS validation, back-porting of bug fixes, long-term support, formal end-of-life policies, and enterprise NoSQL database software security checks.
Scylla Manager provides centralized NoSQL cluster administration and recurrent tasks automation, including automation of periodic repair. Future releases will provide rolling upgrades, recurrent backup, and more.
Expert support and services for your Scylla systems in production and staging, ensuring your critical systems are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With ScyllaDB support, you have direct access to the Scylla development team—the same team who builds and develops the Scylla code base.
The ScyllaDB team prioritizes customer issues discovered in Scylla Enterprise compared to other bugs.
Scylla Enterprise clients who experience critical issues receive, when required, a temporary customized patched version of Scylla Enterprise to deploy back to production. A long-term fix for the issue will be rolled out as part of a formal release as soon as possible.
While Scylla Open Source releases are supported and maintained for the last two minor releases (approximately 2-3 months), Scylla Enterprise customers receive long-term support and upgrades for previous releases.
Scylla Enterprise comes with a Proprietary License, compared to the Affero GPL v. 3.0 (AGPL) license for Scylla Open Source.

Global Secondary indexes are a mechanism in Scylla which allows efficient searches on non-partition keys by creating an index. They are indexes created on columns other than the entire partition key, where each secondary index indexes one specific column. A secondary index can index a column used in the partition key in the case of a composite partition key. Local Secondary Indexes is an enhancement to Global Secondary Indexes, which allows Scylla to optimize workloads where the partition key of the base table and the index are the same key. |

Materialized Views (MV) are a global index. When a new MV is declared, a new table is created and distributed to the different nodes using the standard table distribution mechanisms. It’s scalable, just like normal tables. It is populated by a query running against the base table. It’s not possible to directly update a MV; it’s updated when the base table is updated. |
