Meesho Migrates from Redis to Dragonfly: Cuts Latency by 50% and Costs by 60%

Meesho, an Indian e-commerce platform, migrated from Redis to Dragonfly to achieve a 50% reduction in latency and a 60% cost savings. With its unique multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture, Dragonfly delivered superior performance at a lower cost than Redis, aligning perfectly with Meesho's scaling requirements. The transition involved evaluating compatibility and performance against other caching systems, conducting performance testing, and addressing challenges like memory spikes and data replication before the final migration of data to Dragonfly. Since migration, Meesho has seen significant benefits, including improved latency, cost reduction, and enhanced scalability, making Dragonfly an essential component of their caching layer.
