Summary

Redis OSS and Dynomite are peer-to-peer geo-distribution layers for non-distributed datastores. While Redis OSS has an open-source community, Dynomite's lack of maintenance and limited functionality compared to Redis OSS have led organizations to migrate to Redis Enterprise, which offers a more scalable and maintainable solution with features like multi-model operations, conflict-free replicated data types, and high availability mechanisms that guarantee 99.99% uptime and 99.999% uptime for Active-Active deployments. In contrast to Dynomite's AP system, which requires manual failover and conflict resolution strategies, Redis Enterprise provides automatic failover and causal consistency through its CRDTs implementation. Additionally, Redis Enterprise offers multi-tenancy, scalability, and deployment options that are more flexible than Dynomite's self-managed deployments within AWS autoscaling groups or containerized environments.
