Data ModelingΒΆ

Data modeling is the process of defining the structure and relationships of your data in ScyllaDB. It involves making important decisions about how data will be organized, stored, and retrieved.

Data modeling in NoSQL database such as ScyllaDB differs from traditional relational databases.

A practical approach when data modeling for ScyllaDB is to adopt a query-first data model, where you design your data model around the queries that it needs to execute.
