ShareChat scaled its ML feature store from failure at 1M features/sec to 1B features/sec using ScyllaDB optimizations, caching hacks, and relentless tuning. By rethinking schemas, tiling, and caching strategies, engineers avoided scaling the database, cut latency, and boosted cache hit rates—proving performance engineering beats brute-force scaling.
