Case Study: Boosting Performance and Cutting Cost with Laravel Queues

Inspector, a code execution monitoring platform, faced challenges with their existing Redis-based queue system as it struggled to scale with increasing data ingestion from over 1,000 monitored applications worldwide. The company initially tried Amazon SQS but found the costs too high. They discovered Dragonfly, a modern drop-in Redis replacement designed for performance and scalability challenges. By switching to Dragonfly, Inspector saw improved performance, cost savings of $650 per month, and simplified management. With Dragonfly Cloud, they no longer had to manage their own infrastructure. The technology allowed efficient use of cloud hardware and provided room for future growth.
