How Dragonfly’s Architecture Delivers 80% Lower Costs Than Redis

Are you a customer of a hosted Redis service like ElastiCache, but are struggling with bottlenecks, high costs, and operational complexity? You're not alone. The single-threaded architecture of Redis often leads to poor CPU utilization, requiring you to provision a high number of expensive instances to handle heavy workloads, which can lead to escalating infrastructure costs.

This report, brought to you by Dragonfly, is a breakdown of the architectural differences that enable Dragonfly to deliver up to an 80% cost reduction over managed Redis solutions. We'll show you how a modern, multi-threaded in-memory data store can slash your costs, boost performance, and simplify your operations.

How Dragonfly Reduces Your Costs:

Multi-Threading
Better Memory Efficiency
Lower Price Per Unit of Memory

Patterns For A High Performance Data Architecture

For fast-growing startups, scaling data infrastructure is an inevitable challenge. Increased data volumes often lead to longer response times, higher error rates, and more frequent service downtimes. A lack of a strategic approach to data can compromise the performance and reliability of your services, as well as the trust of your audience.

This guide offers best practices for reducing data latency and enhancing scalability. It provides recommendations to help you navigate the challenges of building web-scale applications that meet the demands of modern users.

Key Patterns for Performance and Scalability

Limit Data Access to Disk
Avoid Cross-Regional Communication
Scale Vertically First
Do Work Asynchronously
Use Connection Pooling
Load Balancing

A New Era of Demand Planning

Accurate forecasts help companies minimize inventory, maximize production efficiency, streamline purchasing, optimize distribution, maximize customer service, and ensure confidence in their projections. However, developing accurate product forecasts at all stages of a product’s life cycle can be quite challenging.

In the past, supply chain planners used multiple forecasting methods tuned to perform well for different products or varying phases of the product life cycle, chosen to best exploit the available historical data and degree of market knowledge. The key was to pick the most effective and flexible methods and models, blend their best features, and shift between them as needed to keep forecast accuracy at its peak. However, the advent of new technologies and the rising utility of AI has brought in new way of forecasting that includes:

Ensemble Modeling - Harness the collective knowledge of diverse models for enhanced accuracy, stability, and adaptability
Driver-Based Forecasting - Identify the main drivers of business and how those drivers affect its revenue, costs, and cash flow
Demand Sensing - Monitor real time data such as customer orders, consumer sales, inventory in the channel, social sentiment signals or weather to dramatically improve near-future forecast
Explainable Forecasts - Embrace AI-driven forecasts with GenAI in an understandable way

Securing AI agents: the new Identity challenge

AI agents aren’t just chatting anymore, they’re taking action across your stack. They’re calling APIs, making decisions, and accessing sensitive data. However, most IAM systems were never designed for non-human actors.

This whitepaper breaks down what GenAI changes about Identity and what security, product, and development teams must rethink to stay secure and scalable.

Download it to learn:

Where traditional identity frameworks fall short for GenAI
How to secure agents before, during, and after login
Why human-in-the-loop approvals and fine-grained authorization matter

The Extensibility Imperative

Customer Identity is essential for optimizing the customer experience, driving sales and marketing efforts, and ensuring security and compliance. However, as businesses’ tech stacks and needs evolve, extensibility becomes a critical factor in selecting a CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) solution. This whitepaper explores:

Why extensibility is crucial for adapting CIAM to unique business needs and tech environments.
The role of Customer Identity in enhancing security, protecting data, and supporting compliance.
How extensible CIAM solutions enable faster, more agile development while offloading identity management tasks.
The trade-offs between ease of implementation and degree of extensibility in different CIAM approaches.

It also shares practical strategies to implement Customer Identity effectively, ensuring scalability and long-term success. Download the whitepaper now.
