How We Optimized Dragonfly to Get 30x Throughput with BullMQ
The text discusses the optimization of Dragonfly for BullMQ, a popular Node.js library for background jobs using Redis as a backend. Through various enhancements, they achieved a staggering 30x increase in throughput. Key optimizations included hashtag locking, reducing the number of hops for commands and scripts, connection migration, and shard round-robin key placement.
