Scylla University Provides In-Depth Training for Those Seeking Mastery in NoSQL Development, Management, Monitoring and Administration
ScyllaDB announced Scylla University, a free, online learning resource for those looking to master the use of the highly performant and scalable Scylla NoSQL database. The first free online course, Scylla Essentials, is available today along with other valuable self-paced learning materials.
The Scylla open source database has the high availability and fault tolerance of Apache Cassandra but significantly reduces the number of database nodes an organization requires. Scylla self-optimizes to dynamic workloads and various hardware configurations. It is available in several deployment options including the Scylla Cloud database as service.
