Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria a service must meet before moving to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. For example, improving latency by as little as 0.1 latency is the number one reason consumers abandon mobile sites.

ScyllaDB offers significantly lower latency which allows you to process a high volume of data with minimal delay. In fact, according to ScyllaDB’s performance benchmark report, their 99.9 percentile latency is up to 11X better than Cassandra on AWS EC2 bare metal. So this type of performance has to come at a cost, right?
