Covers ScyllaDB’s Raft-based metadata management and the Tablets architecture that makes elastic scaling fast.
What you'll build
An elastic ScyllaDB cluster that you scale yourself in a browser-based lab, watching Tablets redistribute data in real time as nodes join.
By the end
- Understand how Raft gives ScyllaDB consistent metadata, schema, and topology updates
- Understand how Tablets replace vNodes, and how they are balanced and migrated
- Add nodes to a running cluster and watch Tablets rebalance the data automatically
Prerequisites
- Introduction to Distributed NoSQL and ScyllaDB (or equivalent)
- No local setup required — the hands-on lab runs in your browser
