This product roadmap of current and upcoming NoSQL database features is intended to outline general product direction and should not be relied upon in making purchasing decisions. The content is for informational purposes only and may change.
Based on the Scylla Open Source project, Scylla Enterprise is our most feature-rich NoSQL database. It includes a Scylla Enterprise license, tested and certified binaries, software updates, hot fixes, technical support, and best practices. Scylla Enterprise Support guarantees that you will have access to the engineers who developed Scylla.
Scylla Open Source features are migrated to Scylla Enterprise after they’ve undergone additional testing and feedback from customers. However, Scylla Enterprise also includes features that are not part of the open source release. These features focus on security, management and cost savings.
The latest Scylla Enterprise release, 2019.1.3 is available for customers and evaluation
The 2019.1 branch is based on Scylla Open Source 3.0 and includes backport bug fixes from previous versions of both Scylla Open Source and Scylla Enterprise.
Scylla Enterprise versioning schema is: year (as major version).minor.patch; for example, Scylla Enterprise 2017.1.2, 2017 is the major version, 1 the minor, 2 the patch.
Upcoming Scylla Enterprise features:
ScyllaDB is an open source company that is committed to shared innovation and transparency that leads to continually improving the features of NoSQL databases.
This page is a point-in-time snapshot of our current efforts and plans. However, our plans are always responsive to customer input, market evolution, and development constraints of database technologies.
Track progress through the open source Scylla project on GitHub including a public project issue tracker. You are welcome to add database feature requests and vote for your favorite issue.
We have an additional set of advanced NoSQL database features that go beyond Apache Cassandra, for example, Heat-Weighted Load-Balancing, CPU and I/O schedulers, CDC, AWS DynamoDB compatible API (Alternator) and so forth. As we continue to evolve beyond Apache Cassandra we guarantee to keep backward compatibility (Thrift, for example, is here to stay) and future compatibility with future development of Cassandra.
We release a Scylla minor version periodically, with both bug fixes and new features. Complex features for more advanced database architectures will be flagged as experimental for one release, marking them as completed, but not thoroughly tested yet. The list below includes features visible to the users. At the same time, we put most of our effort into internal optimizations, performance improvements, and workload conditioning.
Scylla is moving fast! Keep an eye on the scylladb-users mailing list for updates.
Selected features plan:
We are invested in improving big data database technologies in 2019 and beyond, including an improved disk format, different database enhancements and integration with analytics and search.
