About the project

Dragonfly is a multi-threaded in-memory data store compatible with the Redis and Memcached APIs, offering higher throughput and better memory efficiency than them. It works as a drop-in replacement for Redis/Memcached without code changes.

Useful for
  • Replace Redis with Dragonfly in an existing app without code changes
  • Run a high-throughput cache on a multi-core server
  • Reduce memory usage for the same cached dataset

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
