Modern enterprise applications must process increasing data volumes while guaranteeing low latency, high availability, and predictable performance. While relational databases are essential for transactional workloads and complex queries, some applications do not fit the relational model. Systems that manage millions of user engagements, financial events, or IoT data often need a persistence solution built for distributed environments and horizontal scalability. In these cases, ScyllaDB affords a compelling option for enterprise architects.
ScyllaDB is a high-performance, distributed NoSQL database based on the wide-column data model. Inspired by Apache Cassandra and compatible with its query language (CQL), ScyllaDB uses a shard-per-core architecture to maximize hardware efficiency and preserve consistent performance under intensive workloads. When should ScyllaDB be chosen over traditional relational databases or other NoSQL options? This article examines its column-family model, compares it with Cassandra, and shows how to integrate ScyllaDB into a Java enterprise application.
Time is now a critical dimension in enterprise data. Modern applications generate a constant stream of events, such as payments, sensor readings, infrastructure metrics…

If you've sat through more than one architecture review, you've probably sat through a protracted Kotlin-versus-Java debate that goes nowhere. The team spends weeks…
