It provides shard-aware connection routing, connection pooling, automatic node discovery, and support for simple, prepared, and batch statements. The library is designed for asyncio-based applications and handles asynchronous I/O, parallel execution, and request pipelining natively.\n\nThe package targets developers building async applications that need to query Cassandra or ScyllaDB clusters. It supports authentication, SSL, latency-aware routing, configurable load balancing policies, and metadata retrieval. The API exposes rows as objects with multiple access patterns (dict, list, tuple, or attribute access), and includes features like execution profiles, tracing, and host state change callbacks.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need async Cassandra/ScyllaDB access in a modern Python application. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports recent Python versions with prebuilt wheels, and offers a comprehensive feature set including shard-awareness and connection pooling. Medium install friction is acceptable for most deployments. The dual Apache/MIT license poses no restrictions."},"id":"acsylla","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/acsylla","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/acsylla.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/acsylla/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"acsylla","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A high performance asynchronous Cassandra and ScyllaDB client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":385948,"position":7056,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
