This sounds like awesome news!
- How it compares to Cassandra regarding latency? - How is the client API? Does it support lock free communication? Can you send things to nodes in batches?

DB API (CQL) is Cassandra compatible, so clients does not have to change.
For more on the lock free communication see http://www.seastar-project.org/ Seastar is the underline framework of Scylla
There is an open bug for batch https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/issues/332 hopefully we will fix it shortly.
The client API is CQL. We have thrift too but it's not mature enough. We'll invest in thrift per community feedback
