Hi, I’m using scylladb with Openresty in front to make calls. Reading and writing are really slow… wondering if you have any configuration advice for openresty or scyllabdb to increase speed.

The server with scylladb has 4vcpu and 8gb ram instead that of openresty 3vcpu and 4gb ram.

Thanks for your help.

This question is really hard to answer without more information. How is scylla deployed? Does it have its own node, or does it share it with Openresty?  
The slowness can be caused by either ScyllaDB or Openresty. The first step in diagnosing performance issues for ScyllaDB is monitoring. Please setup monitoring and check the latencies reported by it.
