Scylla developer documentation

This folder contains developer-oriented documentation concerning the ScyllaDB codebase. We also have a wiki, which contains additional developer-oriented documentation. There is currently no clear definition of what goes where, so when looking for something be sure to check both.

Seastar documentation can be found here.

User documentation can be found on docs.scylladb.com

For information on how to build Scylla and how to contribute visit HACKING.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
