High-performance NoSQL database replacing Cassandra and DynamoDB at scale
ScyllaDB is a NoSQL database built in C++ designed to replace Apache Cassandra and DynamoDB for data-intensive, low-latency workloads. The company is actively replacing legacy Cassandra deployments while competing directly against DynamoDB — a strategic positioning reflected in their tech stack (C++, Cassandra Query Language, AWS) and dual focus on core database and cloud offerings. Hiring velocity is accelerating across finance, sales, and product, with active infrastructure-automation work visible in their ERP/CRM consolidation projects, suggesting a scaling sales org managing longer deal cycles and mid-market growth ceilings.
ScyllaDB develops an open-source and commercial NoSQL database optimized for high-throughput, real-time applications. The product runs across on-premise, fully-managed cloud, and hybrid deployments. The company serves data-intensive teams in gaming, media, fintech, and infrastructure sectors who prioritize low latency and cost efficiency over architectural familiarity with Cassandra or DynamoDB. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, ScyllaDB operates as a privately held company with distributed hiring across the United States and Israel. Revenue operations is a current focus area, with active projects spanning financial close automation, order-to-cash reporting, and collections management alongside product work on database features and cloud service expansion.
ScyllaDB's production stack centers on C++, Cassandra Query Language, and AWS. Operations tooling includes Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, and Stripe for billing and CRM workflows.
ScyllaDB actively targets and replaces Apache Cassandra and DynamoDB deployments. The company positions its product as a higher-performance, lower-cost alternative for teams running data-intensive workloads at scale.
