#2If I was Datastax I would be scared of Scylla. They have momentum and they are one of the best engineering teams around outside of top teams at Google/FB etc.

Maybe I'm too far out of the loop but while they both provide enterprise Cassandra they both also offer a bunch of different products so in some product categories there may be plenty of room for both of them.
I gotta say though, going to each of their websites, and Scylla was very straight forward "here's what we provide" and I understand it pretty quickly. Datastax? I...still don't entirely understand what they offer. It's all loaded with enterprise buzz words.

#4Does anyone else find it a bit weird that a post on ScyllaDB's blog announcing their fundraising starts with: "ScyllaDB announced today that it?" It seems weirdly self referential to me. They're definitely not the only ones to do this though.
Anyways, congrats on the funding guys, certainly not trying to cast shade.

I have noticed this trend as well. If I had to guess it's a SEO thing.

The founding team is Israeli I believe, and their team is distributed across the world, so this may not have been written by a native English speaker.

i assume that it is a public release meant to be easily copied as is by anyone (preferably as many as possible) without a hassle of rewriting it

This is the standard format for a press release (note the URL of the article - scylladb.com/press-release/...)

#9Congratulations to the team!
I would love to move over from Apache Cassandra to Scylla but honestly I'm a bit afraid to do that. I have no doubt that it's much faster but I haven't seen hard numbers about consistency and availability. Apache Cassandra is a much older project with many installations and is battle tested (to a degree) how can I be sure that Scylla will behave as stable as Cassandra in that regard?

#10 Garbage collection has been the pain point for java based tech like hadoop. Interesting to see databases being written in Golang, which I imagine would have the same issues.
