• Dragonfly Is Production Ready (and we raised $21M)

  Congrats on the funding and getting production ready, it's good that KeyDB (and Redis) get some competition. https://docs.keydb.dev/ Open question, how does Dragonfly differ from KeyDB? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I deleted 78% of my Redis container and it still works

  See: Distroless images[0] This is one of the huge benefits of recent systems languages like go and rust -- they compile to single binaries so you can use things like scatch[1] containers. You may have to fiddle with gnu libc/musl libc (usually when getaddrinfo is involved/dns etc), but once you're done with it, packaging is so easy. Even languages like Node (IMO the most progressive of the scripting languages)... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Dragonflydb – A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached

  Interesting project. Very similar to KeyDB [1] which also developed a multi-threaded scale-up approach to Redis. It's since been acquired by Snapchat. There's also Aerospike [2] which has developed a lot around low-latency performance. 1. https://docs.keydb.dev/ 2. https://aerospike.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Dragonflydb – A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached

  How does this compare to other multithreaded redis protocol compatibles? KeyDB is one key player https://docs.keydb.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Global Presence; I made a thing

  KeyDB is a fork of (everyone's favourite cache store) Redis, and it's messaging protocol and API is 100% compatible with Redis. What that means is you can just point any Redis client (like Hiredis or redis-rb) at a KeyDB instance, and it'll Just Work™️, with no changes required. The KeyDB selling points are: 1) multi-threading by default, and a lot of work was ploughed in to high performance around multi-threading... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• A KeyDB Operator for Kubernetes

  KeyDB is a multithreading, drop-in alternative to Redis. Keydb-operator easily creates a standalone (1 replica) or a multimaster (3 replicas) KeyDB in-memory database. When KeyDB is in multimaster mode, it is possible to have more than one master, allowing read/write operations to all them. That helps for high availability and fault tolerance. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Can you replace Postgres with Redis (for some usecases)?

  Because just like Postgres, there's a reason people don't use it for absolutely everything. Usually, purpose built tools will offer better features, performance, etc. I am digging a company out of using Redis as a main database right now. They put everything in Redis, and the DB grew to be very large and they are paying a ton because they chose this. As far as the actual application logic it is using... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• KeyDB CEO Interview: Getting into YC with a Fork of Redis

  Probably off-topic but I'm curious about the HPE and Huawei logos on KeyDB's website [0]. What is their involvement in their project? 0: https://keydb.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
