Summary

To summarize, these are the main points we covered:

  • ScyllaDB data modeling is query-based. That is, we think of the application workflow and the queries early on in the data model process
  • A Keyspace is a top-level container that stores tables
  • A Table is how ScyllaDB stores data and can be thought of as a set of rows and columns
  • The Primary Key is composed of the Partition Key and Clustering Key

  • Selecting the Primary Key is very important and has a huge impact on query performance

The data modeling process is iterative. It’s an ongoing process:
