The service can scale from 100,000 to 2 million operations per second while maintaining single-digit millisecond P99 latency. ScyllaDB guarantees X Cloud costs 50% less than AWS DynamoDB. Key features include autoscaling, 90% storage utilization, up to 80% data compression, flexible node sizing (2-128 cores), and 25x faster data streaming on ARM Graviton4 instances. The service includes a DynamoDB-compatible API called Alternator for easy migration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
