Azure Cache for Redis vs. Dragonfly vs. JavaScript vs. KeyDB Comparison Chart

Dragonfly is a drop-in Redis replacement that cuts costs and boosts performance. 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.

KeyDB maintains full compatibility with Redis modules, API and protocol. Seamlessly drop in KeyDB and maintain full compatibility with your existing clients, scripts and configurations. Multi-Master mode uses a single replicated dataset across many nodes to serve both read and write operations Nodes can be replicated cross-region to offer submillisecond latencies to local clients. Cluster mode allows unlimited read and write scaling by splitting the dataset across shards. This allows unlimited scaling, and also support high availability through replica nodes. KeyDB offers new community driven commands that enable you to do more with your data. Add your own commands and functionality using JavaScript with the ModJS module. ModJS lets you write functions in javascript that can in turn be called directly by KeyBD. The example to the left shows and example of a javascript function that would be loaded with the module. It can then be called directly from your client.
