S8 Bonus: The Bare-Metal Database Revolution: Engineering C++ Thread-Per-Core Systems and Overthrowing the JVM with Dor Laor, Co-Creator of KVM & CEO of ScyllaDB
Aug 30, 2023 · Season 8 · 22 min
Cassandra based DB distributed for speed
Dor Laor lives North of Tel Aviv, Israel, but travels 4 times out of the year to the states. He loves tech, which drives 200% of his day. Outside of tech, he is married with two teenage kids, and enjoys extreme sports. At the time, he does snowboarding and mountain biking, mentioning that the best place to mountain bike was a ski resort in France. He would love to do surfing, but hasn't found the time to hit the waves around Israel.
Dor and his co-founder met long ago at another startup. Post acquisition, they listed ideas of what to start building next. They decided to build an operating system like to Linux, and noticed that databases still didn't run faster within their system. They decided to tackle distributed NoSQL databases instead.
This is the creation story of ScyllaDB.
