Top 5 Reasons Why Your Redis Instance Might Fail

Redis is a popular in-memory data store known for its speed and performance, but it has several points of failure due to its single-threaded design. These include complete failure or temporary unavailability leading to potential data loss, scalability limitations, running out of memory, lack of consistency between cluster nodes, replication loops, and the need to over-provision servers for snapshotting. Dragonfly is a source-available multi-threaded in-memory database designed to address these issues by offering API compatibility with Redis, efficient memory management, and easier scaling options.
