Redis has dominated in-memory databases for years, but is it still the best choice? In this video, we compare Redis with DragonflyDB, a multithreaded, high-performance alternative that claims to be up to 25x faster. We put these databases to the test using real-world benchmarks, discuss their architectural differences, and explore which one is right for your needs. Is Dragonfly DB the future of in-memory storage? Watch to find out! 🔹 Topics Covered: The limitations of Redis (single-threaded architecture) How Dragonfly DB leverages multithreading for speed Real-world benchmark results: Redis vs. Dragonfly Clustering vs. vertical scaling: Which is better?
