Clarification of the License

[wweems@gmail.com]

Not that I dont think credit where credit is due, and not to sound ungreatful... but could someone clarify the AGPL license? 

In a lot of cases, AGPL is the worst kind of licensing you could possibly encounter. I know people like MongoDB have a modified AGPL, where if you use it as is, its not a pay or opensource your product type scenario... and other libraries are SUPER restrictive.

Hello,

AGPL is not, in my viewm, restrictive for users at all.  Since you do not link with Scylla, you need not publish your application's source code.  Only if you modify ScyllaDB code itself are you under obligation to publish it, which is only fair.
