I am excited to announce the next step in our journey toward an amazingly fast, truly elastic, and cost-efficient **ScyllaDB Cloud.**
The new **X Cloud product** builds on the technical achievements of ScyllaDB and ScyllaDB Cloud engineering teams, delivering excellent scalability and efficiency.
### Tablets Technology
Harnessing the full potential of ScyllaDB tablets to deliver:
- Scaling as fast as your infrastructure can grow
- Storage utilization of up to 90%
- Mixed instance types/sizes.⠀
### Faster Infrastructure
We have optimized and parallelized the cluster deployment process to significantly reduce provisioning time. The data is distributed much faster, and the new nodes start serving in minutes.
### Autonomous Scaling
With the new **X Cloud Beta** , we introduce **autonomous scaling** , a capability that continuously keeps clusters running at optimal storage efficiency, based on the data from the cluster monitoring.
Clusters scale in and out automatically to maintain up to 90% disk utilization, ensuring efficient resource use and cost control.
Customers can still reserve a minimum vCPU or storage capacity to ensure clusters never scale below a defined baseline—even if idle—so they’re ready for any planned workload spikes.
By combining these technologies, your cluster can now scale just-in-time, in precise increments, and be ready to serve requests from all nodes within minutes—while also optimizing storage utilization to save you even more.

### Availability
**X Cloud Beta** is available today in [ScyllaDB Cloud](https://cloud.scylladb.com/) for all customer accounts.
If you need documentation, you can always find it here: [X Cloud Documentation](https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/stable/cloud-setup/cluster-types.html).
### Still Beta
We strongly recommend using **X Cloud Beta** only for testing and evaluation, **not** for production workloads.
