ScyllaDB delivers lower latencies at 50% of the cost of DynamoDB. Its close-to-the-metal architecture squeezes every ounce of power from the hardware for impressive price-performance. With ScyllaDB Alternator, a native DynamoDB-compatible API, users can run their DynamoDB workloads anywhere – without code changes.

Some other aspects to highlight include:

- ScyllaDB was benchmarked at 40.9X (provisioned) to 282.5X (on-demand) lower costs
- ScyllaDB demonstrated up to 4X better P99 latency
- ScyllaDB achieves single-digital ms latencies without an external cache
- ScyllaDB does not throttle or imposes any partition size restrictions on your data by default
