ScyllaDB is https://www.scylladb.com/?utm_content=inline-mention that operates at scale and is architected for data-intensive applications that need high performance and low latency. At the ScyllaDB Summit 2023, ScyllaDB Vice President of Product https://www.linkedin.com/in/tzach/?originalSubdomain=il makes this case, in the talk “Use ScyllaDB Alternator to Use Amazon DynamoDB API, Everywhere, Better, More Affordable, All at Once.” Livyatan compared ScyllaDB to Amazon’s DynamoDB in a side-by-side matchup and compared the two in the categories of price and latency.

ScyllaDB’s Alternator tool is a DynamoDB-compatible API which makes any application using DynamoDB also ScyllaDB compatible.

Here are the results for DynamoDB: And for ScyllaDB: The graphs above show that latencies are higher in DynamoDB.
