ScyllaDB addresses the challenges of external caches by integrating an embedded cache directly within its architecture.

ScyllaDB’s embedded cache simplifies deployments, enhances performance with low-latency data access, and reduces costs by eliminating the need for separate caching layers. Real-world examples, such as Comcast and IMVU, demonstrate how adopting ScyllaDB improves efficiency and streamlines infrastructure by consolidating caching and database functions into a unified, high-performance system.
