Valkey/Redis support offloading of io processing to special I/O threads. Their goal is to unload the "main" thread from performing i/o related tasks like socket reading and parsing…

Dragonfly supports both epoll and iouring, and polling engine choice is quite orthogonal to its shared nothing architecture. I do not think that Valkey or Redis will become fully m…

I apologize. I must say that my tone, as you rightly wrote, was inappropriate. Indeed, I am the lead developer for Dragonfly. As such, I am deeply concerned with the performance as…

I understand what you are saying. How would you suggest to present it then? Dragonfly is not faster than Redis when running on a single cpu. It can not be, just because it has the …

Absolutely. And I am sorry I reacted this way.

1. We removed the FAQ page 2. You are right, I need to shut the fuck up and let self-righteous hn crowd with torches do what they do best - find a weakness, and push it until they …

I personally benchmarked Dragonfly vs Memcached. Are you calling me a liar? :) Do you think I also photoshopped this document? https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/blob/master/…

You are an exception, then :) But I still stand by the claim that fragmenting your stateful workload (i.e. Redis) into bunch of processes instead of having a single endpoint per in…

This is definition of spam: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spam To the best of my knowledge this page was not sent to anyone.

Because we focus on building the most awesome datastore and you should decide whether you prefer having your store designed by good marketeers or good engineers.

hmm and ships are designed to sail, yet you use planes to cross atlantic. Nokia was designed as strongest and most affordable phone, yet you use Iphone that costs 1000$. it's not a…

We do not fight off capitalism in any way. Rather, I view capitalism as a powerful engine driving innovation. My experience as an engineer at both Google, a massively profitable en…

We are reading this and we will fix it shortly.

You are absolutely right, and I apologize for having this experience. SEO is part of the game, but it should not be in FAQ section.

I think using word "misleading" is also "misleading". Dragonfly hides complexity. Docker hid complexity of managing cgroups and deploying applications. S3 hid complexity of writing…

KeyDB implements multiple threading with spin-locks that protect a global shared data structure. Dragonfly is built upon shared-nothing architecture where each thread manages its o…

It compares a process with a listening port with another process with a listening port. To give another example - nobody compares minio with bunch of disks to which you can write s…

Not yet but it supports JSON API

It does not have to be instead of our startup, really.

I made an honest mistake. While I saw DragonflyBSD, I didn't realize its prominence within the BSD community. I assumed that since our project only focuses on Linux, having a simil…

DragonflyDB cofounder here. I am not shy about our choice of license. Like with software design, everything is about trade-offs. Folks here voiced reasons why we chose BSL. I am su…

Dragonfly is better with 1. Memory utilization (read the announcement, they mention it) 2. Deployment/orchestration - your initial threshold that forces you to scale horizontally j…

BSL license is more company-friendly than AGPL.

Yes, you can - in fact it supports out of the box existing frameworks and clients like redisson, sidekiq and many others
