# What is ScyllaDB?

ScyllaDB provides predictable database performance at scale – with fewer nodes, less admin, and lower costs. Our close-to-the-metal architecture handles millions of ops/sec with predictable single-digit millisecond latencies. ScyllaDB is designed for extreme elasticity, efficiency, and infrastructure utilization so teams can achieve exceptional price-performance.
