Dragonfly, a Redis cluster in a single node.
In short: Dragonfly is a modern in-memory data store, wire-compatible with Redis and Memcached, built on a multi-threaded shared-nothing architecture. It scales vertically across CPU cores - so one node can replace a multi-node Redis cluster while using less memory.
Drop-in compatible with your existing Redis clients - consolidate a sharded cluster into a single, memory-efficient node, with no resharding and a contractual 99.99% uptime SLA.

Full-spectrum Dragonfly engineering
From a sharded Redis cluster to a single Dragonfly node - we plan it, migrate it, and run it.
Performance Engineering
Tune Dragonfly's multi-threaded, shared-nothing engine to saturate every core - one node where a Redis cluster used to live.
Vertical Scaling
Right-size a single Dragonfly instance to replace a multi-node Redis cluster - no resharding, no client-side hashing.
High Availability
Primary/replica replication, snapshotting, and failover design for a resilient in-memory tier.
Redis/Memcached Migration
Drop-in, wire-compatible cutover from Redis or Memcached - your existing clients and commands keep working.
Cloud & Kubernetes
Deploy Dragonfly on Kubernetes with the operator, persistent snapshots, and rolling upgrades.
24/7 Managed DBA
Round-the-clock monitoring, memory-efficiency tuning, snapshot verification, and incident response.
Every core, working for you
Redis leaves most of your CPU idle. Dragonfly's shared-nothing engine spreads work across all cores in one process - higher throughput, lower memory, fewer nodes to operate.

Redis / Memcached → Dragonfly (wire-compatible)
Estimated cutover window: < 5 minutes
Move off Redis without rewriting code
Dragonfly speaks the Redis and Memcached protocols, so your clients keep working. Moving off Redis? We validate command coverage, run a dual-read window, and cut over with a rollback plan.

Common questions about Dragonfly & Redis migration
What is Dragonfly?
Dragonfly is a modern in-memory data store that is wire-compatible with Redis and Memcached, built on a multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture. It scales vertically across CPU cores, so a single node can replace a multi-node Redis cluster while using less memory.
Is Dragonfly a drop-in replacement for Redis?
For most workloads, yes. Dragonfly speaks the Redis (RESP) protocol, so existing clients and most commands work unchanged. We validate command coverage for your workload before cutover and run a dual-read verification window.
How does Dragonfly compare to a Redis Cluster?
Redis is single-threaded per process, so scaling means running many shards and managing client-side hashing/resharding. Dragonfly uses all cores in one process - you scale a single node vertically, eliminating cluster topology, resharding, and cross-slot limitations.
Do you offer 24/7 Dragonfly support?
Yes. Our SRE team provides round-the-clock monitoring, memory-efficiency tuning, snapshot verification, and incident response with agreed SLAs - P1 under 15 minutes.
