ScyllaDB, a Sunnyvale-based NoSQL database provider, announced on July 24, 2025, the availability of its ScyllaDB Cloud with the Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) model on Google Cloud, expanding options beyond fully-managed and self-hosted deployments on Google Cloud Marketplace. The BYOA model enables customers to deploy database clusters within their own Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Account, Project, and VPC, retaining full data ownership while ScyllaDB manages tasks like updates, backups, monitoring, and optimization. Customers pay ScyllaDB subscription fees and infrastructure costs directly to Google Cloud, ensuring compliance and cost efficiency. With a shard-per-core architecture, ScyllaDB delivers 2x better price-performance than competitors like DynamoDB, powering clients like Discord and ShareChat in the $15 billion cloud database market.

ScyllaDB manages clusters; customers pay Google Cloud for infrastructure.
Serves 400+ companies like Disney+ Hotstar, Zillow, and Comcast.
Cloud database market valued at $15B, projected to reach $30B by 2030.

The BYOA model, detailed in ScyllaDB’s documentation, allows customers to deploy clusters on Google Cloud’s n2-highmem machines with local NVMe storage for optimal performance. “ScyllaDB’s BYOA model gives us improved performance and better data privacy,” said Dean Poulin, Tripadvisor’s Data Engineering Lead, noting lower latencies due to co-location with microservices.
