How Palo Alto Networks Replaced Kafka for Stream Processing — Using a Database Instead
Palo Alto Networks replaced traditional stream processing tools like Kafka with ScyllaDB to handle their massive volume of network security events efficiently. ScyllaDB’s architecture allows them to store, analyze, and correlate millions of events per second across various schemas and sensors within a single platform. By consolidating storage and notification in ScyllaDB, they significantly reduce operational complexity and costs while gaining real-time insights. This innovative approach streamlines processing “network stories” by leveraging ScyllaDB’s high performance and scalability.
