History
ScyllaDB states that it was founded by the team who designed and developed the KVM hypervisor. The company's story page notes that Avi Kivity and Dor Laor met at Qumranet in 2005, where Avi invented a new hypervisor model that became Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM). After their time at Red Hat, the team launched ScyllaDB in 2014, engineering a new Cassandra-compatible database from scratch. In 2015, users first met ScyllaDB when Avi presented '1 Million CQL Operations per Server' at Cassandra Summit and the ScyllaDB beta launched. In 2016, ScyllaDB 1.0 launched, the inaugural ScyllaDB Summit was held in San Jose, California, and the company opened its US headquarters.
