ScyllaDB Docs

ScyllaDB departs from Apache Cassandra and DynamoDB behavior in places, and its manual has moved to new paths, so ground each answer in the live docs at https://docs.scylladb.com/manual/stable/, not memory, and link the exact page behind every claim.

Route Amazon DynamoDB managed-service behavior to aws-dynamodb-docs, and Apache Cassandra questions that are not about ScyllaDB compatibility to cassandra-docs. Route MongoDB to mongodb-docs and Redis to redis-docs unless the question is about ScyllaDB integration. Third-party managed Cassandra offerings belong to their own docs unless the question turns on ScyllaDB behavior.

Workflow

1. Locate the question in references/topic-map.md, a selective index of docs entry points. Done when each part of the question maps to a section of the map, or you have noted that none fits.
2. Search docs.scylladb.com with the user's exact terms plus ScyllaDB vocabulary such as shard-aware driver, Alternator, LWT, CDC, large partitions, or nodetool, starting from the map's pages and the Routing rules below. Done when you hold the one page that most directly answers each part.
3. Read each page down to the relevant section. Done when you have read the passage behind every claim you will make. When a page has moved, been renamed, or stops short, say so and link the nearest authoritative pages.
4. Answer with the direct answer first, each docs link beside the claim it supports, and CQL, YAML or nodetool examples only when the user asks or the page needs them. Mark any conclusion that joins several pages as Inference:. Done when every claim cites a specific page, not the docs home.
