We are using rethinkDB for our operations to read millions of data using the rest API’s. The problem we are facing is performance, as their documentation & support are not so good so our team lead wants to migrate rethinkdb to any other. Now I just started exploring Scylladb and want to know if this will be a good replacement to rethinkdb.
Hi @mquanit ,
If your main concern is performance then ScyllaDB is likely to be a good candidate for your project - read some benchmarks here. Keep in mind though that while RethinkDB is a document-based database, ScyllaDB is so called key-key-value store (it’s row store, but uses a partition key and clustering key). So you might need to re-think (no pun intended) your data model if you migrate to ScyllaDB. (we have a really good course on this topic)
Furthermore, ScyllaDB is Cassandra compatible so you can find lots of tools and frameworks that work well with ScyllaDB.
