What users need to know about tablets and Raft
The latest releases of ScyllaDB feature major architectural shifts. Tablets build upon a multiyear project to re-architect our legacy ring architecture. And our metadata is now fully consistent, thanks to the assistance of the Raft consensus protocol. Together, these changes enable new levels of elasticity, speed, and operational simplicity.
But what does your team need to know at a purely pragmatic level?
Join us for a technical walkthrough of exactly what’s changed from the user/operator perspective. We’ll cover:
- The best use cases (and a few antipatterns) for the new capabilities
- Recommendations for configuring related settings
- Tips for working with the new drivers, monitoring metrics, and more
- What admin tasks you no longer need to worry about
- Differences across open source and Enterprise + ScyllaDB Cloud
