ScyllaDB

ScyllaDB is a high-performance distributed NoSQL database engineered for real-time, data-intensive applications, offering close-to-the-metal architecture with predictable single-digit millisecond latencies and millions of operations per second. It is fully compatible with Apache Cassandra's CQL interface and Amazon DynamoDB's API (via Project Alternator), enabling drop-in migration from either platform. ScyllaDB Cloud is a fully managed database-as-a-service available on AWS and GCP, providing a REST management API for automating cluster provisioning, scaling, networking, and configuration. The platform supports vector search, multi-region active-active replication, and a Kubernetes operator for self-managed deployments.

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles ScyllaDB the way a machine reads it — 25 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — ScyllaDB scores 62.8/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile ScyllaDB

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for ScyllaDB. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

ScyllaDB Admin REST API

Node-level administrative REST API exposing endpoints to check and update configuration, retrieve cluster-level and node-level information, and execute administrative operations...

ScyllaDB Account API

The Account API from ScyllaDB — 5 operation(s) for account.

ScyllaDB Account Cluster Network API

The Account Cluster Network API from ScyllaDB — 4 operation(s) for account cluster network.

ScyllaDB Account network cluster connection API

The Account network cluster connection API from ScyllaDB — 2 operation(s) for account network cluster connection.

ScyllaDB Cluster API

The Cluster API from ScyllaDB — 10 operation(s) for cluster.

ScyllaDB Cluster Request API

The Cluster Request API from ScyllaDB — 2 operation(s) for cluster request.

ScyllaDB Deployment API

The Deployment API from ScyllaDB — 4 operation(s) for deployment.

ScyllaDB Pricing API

The Pricing API from ScyllaDB — 1 operation(s) for pricing.

ScyllaDB VectorSearch API

The VectorSearch API from ScyllaDB — 1 operation(s) for vectorsearch.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITS

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON Schema 3

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Examples 4

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
