2024 New Year, New Number: New Benchmarks Show Dragonfly Achieves 6.43 Million Ops/Sec on an AWS Graviton3E Instance

Recent benchmark results show that the in-memory data store Dragonfly can achieve 6.43 million operations per second on an AWS c7gn.16xlarge instance, a significant increase from last year's 4 million ops/sec on a c6gn.16xlarge instance. This improvement is attributed to hardware advancements in the new AWS Graviton3E processors and network bandwidth enhancements. Dragonfly's architecture is designed to scale vertically with hardware improvements, allowing it to automatically leverage more powerful machines for higher throughput performance. The shared-nothing architecture and VLL ensure atomicity and efficiency in multi-key operations. To repeat the benchmark results, users can follow the detailed steps provided in the text.
