ScyllaDB just launched X Cloud with claims of double the performance at half the cost compared to DynamoDB. This episode breaks down the technical architecture behind their tablet-based approach, how they're achieving 80% data compression on ARM Graviton4 instances, and when this actually makes sense for platform engineering teams running high-throughput workloads.
Key Topics:
- ScyllaDB X Cloud tablet-based architecture (5GB chunks) vs traditional consistent hashing
- Claims of 6x performance improvement with 50% cost reduction vs DynamoDB
- 80% compression on ARM Graviton4 instances, 25x faster data streaming
- High-throughput workload targets: Discord, Disney, Starbucks use cases
- News: TerraFormer AI IaC generation, AWS supply chain vulnerability, ML pipeline security
