Today, ScyllaDB, a startup developing database tech for high-throughput, low-latency workloads, announced that it raised $43 million in a funding round led by Eight Roads Ventures with participation from AB Private Credit Investors, AllianceBernstein, TLV partners, Magma Ventures and Qualcomm Ventures. The new cash will be put toward "accelerating" ScyllaDB's momentum and expanding the size of its 168-person team, according to co-founder and CEO Dor Laor. ScyllaDB is what's known as a NoSQL database, which -- unlike the relational databases once dominant in the enterprise -- provides mechanisms for data storage and retrieval that don't rely on a "tabular relations" model.
