For information on specific versions of ScyllaDB Enterprise and ScyllaDB Open Source please see our Release Notes page.

Scylla Cloud is regularly updated with new features and functionality. Check this page to learn the latest capabilities of our NoSQL managed cloud solution.

January 14, 2022 Update

New Features

  • Scylla Manager 2.6: Backups and repairs are fully managed using the latest version of our management utility, Scylla Manager 2.6; these activities are performed on behalf of customers by Scylla Cloud staff.
  • Sandbox Cluster Instance Now on AWS t3.micro: Sandbox clusters in AWS now use the t3.micro instances instead of t2.micro. T3.micro instances provide better performance and availability across more AWS regions than the t2.micro. Sandbox clusters provide affordable development and test environments that can be used by developers getting started with Scylla Cloud.
  • Scylla Monitoring Stack 3.9.1: Scylla Cloud integrates with the latest version of Scylla Monitoring Stack.

Scylla Enterprise Release Information

Scylla Cloud is now based on Scylla Enterprise 2021.1.7, the latest major stable release of Scylla Enterprise. This release of Scylla Enterprise offers a variety of stability enhancements and performance improvements. The new Scylla Enterprise 2021.1.7 release is available for all new clusters, our cloud engineering team will coordinate the upgrade cadence for existing clusters. Clusters generated after January 5 will be provisioned on Scylla Enterprise 2021.1.7.

August 04, 2021 Update

New Features

  • Scylla Cloud on Google Cloud: We are excited to announce general availability of Scylla Cloud on Google Cloud. Now our customers can select Google Cloud as a cloud provider to run their clusters and take full advantage of fully managed Scylla Cloud DBaaS running on n2-highmem compute instances with deployment options across multiple geographic regions.

July 28, 2021 Update

New Features

  • Change Data Capture (CDC): Scylla Cloud now supports CDC, which allows you to observe changes in your data set. These changes can be consumed by other applications and streaming services, such as populating Kafka topics that can then notify other systems. The data is stored in regular Scylla tables (SSTables) and can be queried asynchronously using a standard Scylla/Cassandra CQL driver or Scylla Sink Connector and Scylla CDC Source Connector for roundtrip read and write integration with Apache Kafka. With Scylla’s CDC, you can choose to keep track of the updates (deltas), original values (pre-images), and/or new values (post-images). Data in a CDC table is set to expire with a TTL, minimizing the possibility of a storage overflow.

Scylla Enterprise Release Information

Scylla Cloud is now based on Scylla Enterprise 2021, the latest major stable release of Scylla Enterprise. This release of Scylla Enterprise offers a variety of new features, enhancements, and performance improvements.

  • Scylla Monitoring Stack 3.6: Scylla Cloud users now can take advantage of Scylla Monitoring Stack’s new Advisor Dashboard, available by default for all new clusters.

    To deploy Scylla Cloud in your own account, you are welcome to register in Scylla Cloud and open a support ticket with the request. In the future, this step will be fully automated.

  • Extracting Scylla DB metrics to your organization centralized monitoring system via Prometheus: Scylla Cloud now supports extracting cluster statistics in Prometheus format. The configuration is done at the cluster level, so you can choose which cluster’s metrics you wish to extract. Extracted statistics can be used either with Scylla Monitoring Stack or with any other monitoring tool that supports the Prometheus format. For example, see our DataDog and Scylla integration blog.
