I think they have the luxury of targetting a specific, invariant set of requirements vis-a-vis the Cassandra project, so that helps. But still, their speed has been phenomenal.

I really hope to try out Scylla with some of my cassandra schemas... see how much of the 10x -> 20x speed advantage really bears out.

I was suspicious of these guys originally but they've been pretty upfront with testing and despite the convenience of Java, I can see how they might get massive improvements in speed by doing lower-level C/C++ code.

If you do run your own benchmarks, please publish them - together with your methodology.

We fully stand behind our claims, and don't want to be seen as the "oh, it's the vendor saying, of course it's good".

If you do happen to find an odd case in which we don't perform well, we'd love to hear about it and will work with you in fixing it.
