  • Secondary Indexes and Materialized Views provide efficient search mechanisms on non-partition keys by creating an index.

    • :doc:Global Secondary Indexes </features/secondary-indexes/>
    • :doc:Local Secondary Indexes </features/local-secondary-indexes/>
    • :doc:Materialized Views </features/materialized-views/>

  • :doc:Lightweight Transactions </features/lwt/> provide conditional updates through linearizability.

  • :doc:Counters </features/counters/> are columns that only allow their values to be incremented, decremented, read, or deleted.

  • :doc:Change Data Capture </features/cdc/index> allows you to query the current state and the history of all changes made to tables in the database.

  • :doc:Workload Attributes </features/workload-attributes> assigned to your workloads specify how ScyllaDB will handle requests depending on the workload.

  • :doc:Backup and Restore </features/backup-and-restore> allows you to create backups of your data and restore it when needed.

  • :doc:Incremental Repair </features/incremental-repair/> provides a much more efficient and lightweight approach to maintaining data consistency by repairing only the data that has changed since the last repair.

  • :doc:Automatic Repair </features/automatic-repair/> schedules and runs repairs directly in ScyllaDB, without external schedulers.

  • :doc:Vector Search in ScyllaDB </features/vector-search/> enables similarity-based queries on vector embeddings.
