Technical FAQs and Insights
What version of ScyllaDB is supported?
FlexiDB supports the latest and up to two prior (N–2) stable versions of each database engine. Since version updates vary by vendor, please refer to the Yntraa Cloud Assure portal for the most up-to-date list of supported versions.
How is ScyllaDB different from Cassandra?
ScyllaDB is a drop-in replacement for Cassandra with drastically better performance, thanks to its C++ engine and thread-per-core architecture.
What kind of workloads benefit most from ScyllaDB?
Workloads requiring extreme performance, low latency, and high concurrency — like gaming, ad tech, and IoT — benefit the most.
What types of databases are included under FlexiDB?
Yntraa FlexiDB includes non-relational (NoSQL) and big data databases such as MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Couchbase, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, and ScyllaDB. These cover a wide range of use cases — from document storage to real-time analytics and big data processing.
How is FlexiDB different from SutraDB?
While SutraDB focuses on relational (structured) databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, FlexiDB is designed for unstructured or semi-structured workloads such as logs, documents, cache data, sensor feeds, and distributed storage.
Can I scale FlexiDB databases horizontally?
Yes. Most engines under FlexiDB, like Cassandra, ScyllaDB, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, are designed for horizontal scalability and can be scaled easily across multiple nodes or shards.
Do I need to manage backups and monitoring myself?
No. FlexiDB is a fully managed platform. Backup automation, monitoring, high availability, and patching are all handled by Yntraa Cloud so you can focus on development.
Can I use FlexiDB for data lakes or big data batch processing?
Absolutely. Hadoop under FlexiDB supports large-scale data lake creation, batch ETL pipelines, archival storage, and complex analytical workflows.
Do you provide SLAs for availability and support?
Yes. FlexiDB offers industry-grade SLAs based on your chosen service tier — with 24/7 monitoring, proactive support, and escalation paths for enterprise workloads.
What if I need help selecting the right database?
You can use our Database Selector Tool or contact our team to help map your workload and data type to the best-fit engine — whether it’s key-value, document, columnar, or search.
