In-memory databases like Redis are crucial for modern performance-oriented applications. However, Redis' single-threaded architecture makes scaling complex and time-consuming, leading to potential data loss and user experience issues. Dragonfly is a drop-in replacement for Redis that improves scalability and reliability with its multi-threaded architecture. It outperforms Redis in throughput, latency, and memory usage, offering significant improvements to application performance without the need for cluster management or specialist DevOps staff.
