MOLO17 is pleased to announce the release of the ScyllaDB Agent for Gluesync, expanding the platform’s integration capabilities to include one of the most powerful high-performance NoSQL databases available today. This new agent enables organizations to seamlessly connect ScyllaDB with other enterprise data systems through Gluesync’s real-time data integration platform.

ScyllaDB has gained popularity for its high throughput, low latency, and exceptional scalability—characteristics that make it ideal for data-intensive applications requiring consistent performance at scale. With this new integration, Gluesync users can now incorporate ScyllaDB into their data pipelines, unlocking new possibilities for real-time data processing and analytics.

Core capabilities

The ScyllaDB Agent for Gluesync establishes connections to ScyllaDB databases via the Cassandra JDBC wrapper, leveraging ScyllaDB’s compatibility with the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) and protocols. This approach ensures both simplicity of implementation and robust connectivity.

The agent supports:

  • bidirectional integration: ScyllaDB can serve as either a source or target in Gluesync pipelines;
  • multiple deployment options: compatible with ScyllaDB cloud, on-premises deployments or instances hosted by public cloud providers;
  • real-time data synchronization: enables continuous data movement between ScyllaDB and other supported systems.

Flexible implementation options

One of the key strengths of the ScyllaDB Agent is its flexibility across various deployment scenarios. Organizations can implement the agent with:

  • ScyllaDB cloud: direct integration with ScyllaDB’s managed cloud service;
  • on-premises ScyllaDB: connection to self-managed ScyllaDB clusters within corporate data centers;
  • cloud-hosted ScyllaDB: support for ScyllaDB instances running on AWS, GCP, Azure or other cloud platforms.

This flexibility ensures that regardless of where your ScyllaDB deployment resides, Gluesync can establish reliable, high-performance connections.

Use cases for ScyllaDB integration

The addition of ScyllaDB to Gluesync’s supported integrations opens up numerous possibilities for organizations looking to leverage ScyllaDB’s performance characteristics within broader data architectures:

  • real-time analytics pipelines: stream data from operational databases into ScyllaDB for high-velocity analytics processing;
  • multi-model data integration: combine ScyllaDB’s wide-column store capabilities with other database models (document, key-value, relational) for comprehensive data solutions;
  • microservices data synchronization: maintain consistent data across microservices architectures that utilize ScyllaDB alongside other databases;
  • data migration and modernization: facilitate smooth transitions between legacy databases and ScyllaDB as part of modernization initiatives.

Getting started with the ScyllaDB agent

The ScyllaDB agent is now available as part of the latest Gluesync release. The agent is designed to be straightforward to configure, with separate guides for using ScyllaDB as a source and as a target system. This clarity helps teams quickly implement the integration regardless of their specific use case.

Organizations interested in implementing the ScyllaDB agent for Gluesync can find comprehensive documentation at the ScyllaDB agent documentation page. The documentation includes detailed instructions for both source and target setups, ensuring a smooth implementation process.
