ScyllaDB CQL Drivers¶

ScyllaDB Drivers¶

The following ScyllaDB drivers are available:

• Python Driver

• Java Driver

• Go Driver

• Go Extension

• C++ Driver

• CPP-over-Rust Driver

• Rust Driver

We recommend using ScyllaDB drivers. All ScyllaDB drivers are shard-aware and provide additional benefits over third-party drivers.

ScyllaDB supports the CQL binary protocol version 3, so any Apache Cassandra/CQL driver that implements the same version works with ScyllaDB.

CDC Integration with ScyllaDB Drivers¶

The following table specifies which ScyllaDB drivers include a library for CDC.

Support for Tablets¶

The following table specifies which ScyllaDB drivers support tablets and since which version.

Driver Support Policy¶

We support the two most recent minor releases of our drivers.

• We test and validate the latest two minor versions.

• We typically patch only the latest minor release.

We recommend staying up to date with the latest supported versions to receive updates and fixes.

At a minimum, upgrade your driver when upgrading to a new ScyllaDB version to ensure compatibility between the driver and the database.
