ScyllaDB offers a significantly more affordable alternative to DynamoDB, especially in managing unpredictable workloads that cause cost spikes. Unlike DynamoDB’s complex pricing model based on data storage, read/write units, indexes, and backups, ScyllaDB’s pricing primarily depends on cluster size, allowing predictable, scalable costs. DynamoDB costs can escalate quickly with traffic surges, particularly with on-demand pricing. ScyllaDB achieves 5X to 40X lower costs in typical workloads while also delivering up to 4X better latency, making it a cost-effective and high-performance solution to escape cloud vendor lock-in and control ballooning bills.
