ScyllaDB employs advanced flow control mechanisms to optimize data ingestion by ensuring writes proceed as quickly as possible without overwhelming system resources. It prevents excessive background write queues that can deplete memory by throttling write operations intelligently. The white paper details how ScyllaDB manages this flow control both for tables without materialized views and addresses additional challenges related to background view updates, maintaining system stability and performance during high ingestion workloads while avoiding bottlenecks and resource exhaustion.
