SQL to NoSQL: Architecture Differences and Considerations for Migration

When and how to migrate data from SQL to NoSQL are matters of much debate. It can certainly be a daunting task, but when your SQL systems hit architectural limits or your cloud provider expenses skyrocket, it’s probably time to consider a move.

NoSQL Database Benchmarks

Selecting the best NoSQL database for your application is a business-critical task. That’s why we constantly compare ScyllaDB vs. other NoSQL databases for throughput and latency. Database latency determines your application speed, while database throughput defines how many users your application can service.

Apache Cassandra 4.0 vs Apache Cassandra 3.11 vs ScyllaDB Open Source 4.4

  • 2x – 4.5x better throughput than Cassandra 4.0
  • 3x-8x better throughput than Cassandra 4.0 while P99 < 10 ms
  • Completed admin tasks 2.5 to 4x faster than Cassandra 4.0
  • 4 ScyllaDB nodes matched the performance of 40 Cassandra 4.0 nodes

ScyllaDB vs DynamoDB – Database Benchmark

  • 20x better throughput in the hot-partition test
  • ScyllaDB Cloud is 1/7 the expense of DynamoDB when running equivalent workloads
  • ScyllaDB Cloud: Average replication latency of 82ms. DynamoDB: Average latency of 370ms.
  • ScyllaDB provides you freedom of choice with no cloud vendor lock-in.

ScyllaDB vs Bigtable – Database Benchmark

  • ScyllaDB Cloud performs 26X better than Google Cloud Bigtable when applied with real-world, unoptimized data distribution
  • Google BigTable requires 10X as many nodes to accept the same workload as ScyllaDB Cloud
  • ScyllaDB Cloud was able to sustain 26x the throughput, and with read latencies 1/800th and write latencies less than 1/100th of Cloud Bigtable

ScyllaDB vs CockroachDB – Database Benchmark

  • Loading 10x the data into ScyllaDB took less than half the time it took for CockroachDB to load the much lesser dataset.
  • ScyllaDB handled 10x the amount of data.
  • ScyllaDB achieved 9.3x the throughput of CockroachDB at 1/4th the latency
