Dragonfly (dragonfly)

Dragonfly is a modern in-memory datastore built for performance and scalability, designed as a drop-in replacement for Redis and Memcached with improved efficiency and throughput. Dragonfly uses a multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture to deliver significantly higher throughput with lower latency than Redis. It is fully compatible with Redis and Memcached APIs, requiring no code changes to migrate existing workloads.

APIs

Dragonfly exposes the Redis and Memcached wire protocols rather than a REST API, so its programmatic surface is the Redis command set rather than an OpenAPI-described HTTP API. Dragonfly Cloud and management tooling are tracked under common properties below.
