Two new lessons are now available on ScyllaDB University!
1. Vector Search: learn how to get started with ScyllaDB Vector Search. You will also understand how to efficiently store, index, and query vectors, enabling you to build high-performance vector search applications.
2. Tablets, Elasticity, and X Cloud: you’ll learn about Tablets, Elasticity, and X Cloud. ScyllaDB distributes data by splitting tables into tablets. Each tablet has its replicas on different nodes, depending on the RF (Replication Factor). Each partition of a table is deterministically mapped to a single tablet. When you query or update the data, ScyllaDB can quickly identify the tablet that stores the relevant partition. Using the new tablets’ replication architecture significantly improves elasticity. Data is dynamically redistributed as the workload and topology evolve. New nodes can be spun up in parallel and adapt to the load in near real-time. Based on the above, X Cloud is an elastic database that supports variable/unpredictable workloads with consistent low latency, which translates to low costs.
Each of the lessons includes some theory, practical points, and hands-on labs. Any feedback or something you’d like to see? Share it here.
