ScyllaDB is a source-available distributed NoSQL wide-column data store designed to be compatible with Apache Cassandra while achieving significantly higher throughputs and lower latencies. It supports the same protocols as Cassandra (CQL) and the same file formats (SSTable), but is a completely rewritten implementation using the C++20 language replacing Cassandra's Java, and the Seastar asynchronous programming library. In addition to implementing Cassandra's protocols, ScyllaDB also implements the Amazon DynamoDB API.

ScyllaDB was designed to be protocol- and file-format-compatible with Apache Cassandra (same CQL protocol and SSTable format) while being an entirely separate C++ reimplementation built for higher throughput and lower latency.
