Designed to fully utilize the power of modern cloud hardware and deliver on the data demands of modern applications, Dragonfly frees developers from the limits of traditional in-memory data stores. The power of modern cloud hardware can never be realized with legacy software. Dragonfly is optimized for modern cloud computing, delivering 25x more throughput and 12x lower snapshotting latency when compared to legacy in-memory data stores like Redis, making it easy to deliver the real-time experience your customers expect. Scaling Redis workloads is expensive due to their inefficient, single-threaded model. Dragonfly is far more compute and memory efficient, resulting in up to 80% lower infrastructure costs. Dragonfly scales vertically first, only requiring clustering at an extremely high scale. This results in a far simpler operational model and a more reliable system. 4.9 out of 5 stars 16 Ratings Visit Website for Dragonfly New Relic There are an estimated 25 million engineers in the world across dozens of distinct functions.
