ScyllaDB Drivers
-----------------

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.

The following table lists the available ScyllaDB drivers, specifying which support
`ScyllaDB Cloud Serversless <https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/stable/serverless/index.html>`_ 
or include a library for :doc:`CDC </features/cdc/cdc-intro>`.
