How Dragonfly's Architecture Delivers 80% Lower Costs Than Redis
Many organizations have replaced Redis with Dragonfly and cut in-memory infrastructure costs by up to 80%. How? This white paper explains the architectural advantages that drive those savings.
Inside this white paper, you’ll learn:
- How Dragonfly’s multi-threaded architecture maximizes CPU usage and reduces node count
- Why Redis’s single-threaded model can lead to underutilized infrastructure
- Real customer examples achieving 65–69% cost reductions
- How optimized data structures reduce memory usage by up to 40%
- The hidden memory overhead in managed Redis services — and what you actually pay per usable GB
- How Dragonfly delivers a significantly lower cost per available GB
- What migration looks like with full Redis compatibility
If you’re running over 100GB on hosted Redis or managing high-throughput workloads, this report shows how to lower costs without sacrificing performance.

How Instacart Achieved 50% Better Performance with 70% Fewer Nodes
How Instacart migrated its ad-serving feature store from managed Valkey to Dragonfly, cutting cluster size ~70% and average and P99 latency 50% in weeks.
Dragonfly vs. Valkey 9.0 on AWS Graviton: An Honest Head-to-Head
Valkey 9.0 closed real ground on I/O. We reran the benchmarks on m7g and c7gn.metal to find out where, and where Dragonfly still wins.
SSD Data Tiering Is Generally Available
Dragonfly SSD Data Tiering is now GA. Scale beyond RAM limits on a single node — no resharding, no code changes. The only source-available Redis-compatible store with SSD tiering.
