Quick Migration with Snapshots​

The fastest way to migrate your data is by importing a Redis snapshot (RDB file). This method is:

  • Best for large datasets - efficiently transfer terabytes of data
  • Simple process - just upload your RDB file and restore
  • Supports all Redis data types - complete data compatibility
  • Brief Data Loss - data changes after the snapshot is taken will be lost

Learn how to import your Redis snapshots to get started quickly.

Zero Downtime Live Migration​

With zero-downtime migrations, we ensure no data loss and downtime by using RedisShake where data is streamed continuously from the source Redis to Dragonfly Cloud. Once the data is streamed, we switch the clients to point to the new Dragonfly Cloud instance and remove the source Redis instance.

This is a more complex process and requires an additional component i.e RedisShake to be running.

This is also heavily dependent on the availability of PSYNC commands on the source instance.
