Case Study: IBM Compose (an IBM company) achieves out-of-the-box throughput and latency gains and dramatic cost savings with ScyllaDB

IBM Compose Chooses ScyllaDB as Its Apache Cassandra Solution

Compose, an IBM company that provides production-ready open source databases for developers, faced the need to offer a Cassandra-compatible service that was high-performing, highly available, and highly scalable while running on lightweight, on‑demand private networks and supporting multiple configurations. To meet those requirements they chose ScyllaDB as their Apache Cassandra solution.

ScyllaDB delivered a solution featuring node matching with a portal for access control, a Cassandra‑friendly protocol, and easy, cost‑effective horizontal scaling. The deployment produced out-of-the-box improvements in throughput and latency, dramatic hardware cost savings versus the prior setup, and eliminated time‑consuming Cassandra workload tuning for Compose.
