This short report brings to light some interesting commits to [scylladb.git master](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/) from the last week. Commits in the 63e3a22f2e..6c8ddfc018 range are covered.

There were 45 non-merge commits from 16 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

  

The tablet load balancer now takes into account the [tablet size](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/bbf9ce18efcabf2875298728dc3321a2b3c570b8) when balancing tablets across nodes. Tablet size can vary due to per-table configuration and natural size fluctuations.

Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, now exports the [table size](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/8df9cfcde8f48b46917bf4af44c4c4a849438f8d) in the DescribeTable API.

  

See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
