Aiven for Dragonfly®

Aiven for Dragonfly is an advanced, high-scale, and Aiven for Caching compatible in-memory database service that can be deployed in your preferred cloud environment. It provides lightning-fast data storage and retrieval capabilities, making it ideal for businesses that handle large-scale data operations.

Dragonfly is designed to overcome the limitations of Redis Open Source Software (Redis OSS), especially under high-load conditions. While renowned for its speed and adaptability as an in-memory data repository, Redis encounters limitations when handling large-scale data management and achieving high throughput. Dragonfly addresses these challenges by enabling vertical scaling, optimizing hardware resources, and supporting larger memory footprints.

With Aiven for Dragonfly, businesses can handle workloads exceeding 1 TB with more than 10 times the throughput performance of Redis OSS, along with reduced latency. This makes it an ideal solution for enterprises with growing data needs.

note

Aiven for Dragonfly is fully supported by Aiven's service level agreements (SLAs), ensuring its capability to manage production workloads. As the latest addition to Aiven services, we recommend initiating a proof of concept (PoC) with Aiven for Dragonfly to thoroughly evaluate its capabilities and confirm its fit for your production requirements.
