Dragonfly replaces Redis with a plug-and-play solution that reduces costs and improves performance. Dragonfly is designed to take full advantage of the power of cloud hardware, and meet the data needs of modern applications. It frees developers from traditional in-memory databases. Legacy software cannot take advantage of the power of modern cloud hardware. Dragonfly is optimized to work with modern cloud computing. It delivers 25x more throughput, and 12x less snapshotting latency, when compared to traditional in-memory stores like Redis. This makes it easy to provide the real-time experiences your customers expect. Due to Redis' inefficient single-threaded design, scaling Redis workloads can be expensive. Dragonfly has a much higher memory and compute efficiency, resulting in infrastructure costs that are up to 80% less. Dragonfly scales first vertically, and only requires clustering when the scale is extremely high. This results in an operational model that is simpler and more reliable.
