# ScyllaDB Rust Driver

This book contains documentation for [scylla-rust-driver](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-rust-driver) - a driver
for [ScyllaDB](https://scylladb.com) written in Rust.
Although optimized for Scylla, the driver is also compatible with [Apache Cassandra®](https://cassandra.apache.org/).
