High-Throughput, Low-Latency
Big Data Solution with Scylla and theConfluent Platform
Confluent and ScyllaDB Solution Brief

ScyllaDB’s NoSQL database,paired with the Confluent
Platform, keeps up withgrowing needs of real-timedata streaming.
Scylla is a highly available, highly-scalable NoSQL databasethat can match the volume and velocity of Kafka to meetthe persistent storage requirements of modern web-scale
applications. The Confluent Platform and Kafka require acomplementary and highly performant storage layer.
Together, the Confluent Platform and Scylla meet the lowlatency and high throughput requirements for users looking
to obtain maximum utility from their real-time data. Scylla
makes maximum utilization of high density, modern, multicore systems. Scylla scales out across additional nodes, withautomatic sharding-per-core, and auto-tunes its performance.
Scylla also scales up, taking advantage of modern NUMA
multi-CPU server architectures.

ScyllaDB and Confluent provide:• Kafka Scylla Connectors Scylla acts
as both sink (consumer) and source(producer) for Kafka• Change Data Capture (CDC) forStreaming Updates use Scylla’s CDCimplementation to easily subscribe to deltas(differences), or pre- and post-images• High performance Low-latency and highthroughput required for maximum utility

Scylla – Scale Up Performance and Scale Out toHundreds of Nodes
Our revolutionary NoSQL database delivers predictable, high-throughput performance with single-digit latencies at scale to support thegrowing demands of your applications. With our cloud-native solution, we simplify operations with self-optimization during installation andself-tuning during runtime – there’s no precision configuration tuning required. Scylla is based on a unique close-to-the hardware design. It’s
NUMA-friendly with highly optimized memory management, and it’s written in C++ to take full advantage of the underlying hardware andscale up and out to support the growth of your workloads without overprovisioning. Our shard-per-core design and shard-aware drivers ensure superior performance without concurrency overhead. Scylla provides API compatibility with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB
APIs, while maintaining superior performance characteristics and lower TCOs.

Confluent Platform and Scylla
The Confluent Platform enables organizations to harness the business value of event data. The Confluent Platform, based on Kafka, manages the barrage of event streams and makes it available throughout an organization. It is the only enterprise stream platform that makes
implementing, managing and deploying an enterprise streaming platform with Kafka easy, reliable, secure and auditable. Scylla matches
the volume and velocity of Kafka with a complementary persistent storage layer that is highly performant. With its high throughput and low
latency characteristics, Scylla is the best NoSQL database to pair with Kafka and the Confluent Platform in order to keep up with growing
needs for real-time data streaming.
