I would like to hear from somebody who is using this in production. We started to use Dynomite recently after hearing good things. Would like to hear comparisons

Same! I'd also be curious to hear about production scenarios that would really benefit from Redis going 5x faster. It's pretty darn fast to start with!

At my job we're currently re-building our website in django, and we make heavy use of redis caching.

Our website is definitely not "high traffic" but we get somewhere around 300,000 requests a day, mostly concentrated around business hours (We're a local clothing wholesaler).

I haven't tested it under production loads, but just swapping our redis for keydb (THANKS DOCKER!) I saw no improvement in my artificial load tests.

I didn't expect to see much real improvement for this use case, but I just thought it was worth mentioning that it isn't necessarily faster for all workloads.

Sorry we didn’t improve your use case. If you are bottlenecked by Redis I would be curious about your workload.

You would probably need 30,000 million a day but then other parts of your setup would fail. Redis being the bottleneck is an unusual case.

We currently do nearly a million requests per minute at peak, on a non clustered redis pair for caching and rate limiting (so at least one read/write per request). This design won’t hold up forever, but we’ve got at least a few years headroom before we need to think about anything more complicated

I was thinking of the same thing and looks like someone else already experiment with them: https://medium.com/@diego_pacheco/running-multithreaded-redi...
