Modern Memcached Alternative
Dragonfly is a drop-in Memcached replacement that scales vertically to support millions of operations per second and terabyte sized workloads, all on a single instance.
Performance
Millions of QPS per instance
Non-contending, multi-threaded processing mean much higher throughput on the same hardware. Read this benchmark report for the details.
Higher hit rates
Dragonfly’s unique caching algorithm means higher hit rates and better protection for your primary database.
Scalability
Simple vertical scaling
Vertically scaling a single node is quicker, cheaper, and more predictable than Redis Cluster and other multi-node approaches.
TB sized workloads
Dragonfly’s multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture scales vertically up to 1TB of memory on each instance.
No resharding
Dragonlfy automatically shards data between CPUs, eliminating the complexity around resharding.
Efficiency
30-60% better memory utilization
Dragonfly’s unique data structures allow for surplus compute to be put towards compression, delivering far better memory utilization.
Asyncronous
Dragonfly runs tasks asynchronous, allowing you to squeeze more cycles out of each CPU.
Lower hardware costs
Dragonfly utilizes all the hardware resources, allowing you to run the same workloads on a smaller instances.
Efficient Snapshotting
Predictably low memory usage during snapshotting. Snapshots complete up to 30X faster when compared to Redis.
