Talk:ScyllaDB

Scylla is no longer just Cassandra compatible

I added to the article the sentence:

Since September 2019, Scylla also includes experimental compatibility with the Amazon DynamoDB API.

This sentence was reverted by User:GermanJoe with the comment "not a venue for press announcements". A similar statement by someone else was added to the article about Redis API support, and reverted too.

This reversions are unjustified. The article states that Scylla is compatibile with Cassandra. Until recently, this was indeed all this project was about. But this is no longer the whole story. Scylla is now also compatible with Amazon DynamoDB and (partially) with Redis, and the article needs to say this. It's not a "press announcement", it's the core features of this project. The link is, indeed, to a press announcement proving that this feature (the addition of DynamoDB compatibility) actually happened - but it doesn't make this feature a press announcement. We can change this to a link into the github of the project detailing the scope of the DynamoDB compatibility, instead of a press release, if you prefer.

I'm not going to revert the revert soon because of my conflict of interest (I'm a ScyllaDB employee), but somebody will need to rethink this revert. The Scylla project is no longer only a Cassandra-compatible database, and the article should eventually reflect this new reality, if it is to remain correct. Nyh (talk) 16:51, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello folks! Peter Corless from ScyllaDB here. We've heard plenty of feedback and confusion over the years as to whether it should just be "Scylla" or "ScyllaDB" and we're bowing to popular demands to change it all to "ScyllaDB." To conform to WP:COI I didn't want to edit this page directly. If someone can put in the appropriate redirects and then update this page, I'd be grateful.
