@Sultan_Al-otaibi: Hello ScyllaDB Community,
I’m relatively new to the world of NoSQL databases and am considering ScyllaDB as my entry point. Having already gained a foundational understanding of SQL databases, I’m interested in expanding my skills into NoSQL technologies.
Given ScyllaDB’s unique characteristics and performance advantages, I’m curious to know if it would be a good choice for someone who is just beginning to explore NoSQL databases. Here are a few specific questions I have:
- Is ScyllaDB recommended for beginners in NoSQL? Are there particular concepts in ScyllaDB that might be challenging for those new to NoSQL?
- What are the key differences I should prepare for when transitioning from SQL to ScyllaDB?
- Are there any resources or learning paths you would recommend to help a beginner get started with ScyllaDB effectively?
I appreciate any guidance or experiences you can share that would help make this learning transition as smooth as possible.
Thank you
@Felipe_Cardeneti_Mendes: You may want to join our ScyllaDB Labs event tomorrow where we’ll basically get all these answered. https://lp.scylladb.com/virtual-labs-2024-07-registration

@Sultan_Al-otaibi: Thank you for directing me to the ScyllaDB Labs event. I’ve already registered and I am looking forward to it. I’m eager to learn more about transitioning from SQL to NoSQL with ScyllaDB, and I hope to gain deeper insights into my questions
@Guy: Another helpful resource is ScyllaDB University, specifically the ScyllaDB Essentials course. It covers basic concepts of NoSQL databases and includes videos, quizzes, and labs covering ScyllaDB features, architecture, high availability, getting started, installation, and more.
