Monitor Scylla with Datadog

Scylla is an open source database alternative to Apache Cassandra that offers higher throughput and lower latency. Built in C++, it provides greater control over low-level operations and avoids garbage collection issues. With its shared-nothing architecture, performance scales linearly with the number of cores. Datadog's latest integration allows users to monitor Scylla clusters and visualize key metrics such as node status, resource usage, and query latency in an out-of-the-box dashboard. The integration helps maintain high cluster availability by monitoring replication factor and consistency level, preventing query timeouts, catching unexpected changes in resource utilization, optimizing partition sizes, and more.
