In this talk, we present the different compaction strategies that ScyllaDB provides, and demonstrate when it is appropriate and when it is inappropriate to use each one. We will also introduce a new compaction strategy that we designed as a lesson from the existing compaction strategies by picking the best features of the existing strategies while avoiding their problems.
