Escape legacy single threaded architectures. Master shared nothing multi threading defeat copy on write memory spikes and execute live datab
Stop letting single-threaded caching layers choke your modern bare metal hardware.
The open-source database ecosystem is fracturing, and if you are still pushing massive high-frequency or AI application traffic through a legacy single-threaded architecture, you are wasting serious computing power.
At ServerMO, we compiled an enterprise migration guide to move legacy data structures to DragonflyDB without ruining your runtime latencies:
The Shared-Nothing Shift: Traditional caches execute commands sequentially on exactly one thread. If you bought a 64-core dedicated processor, 63 cores are literally asleep under load. DragonflyDB splits your keyspace across every core dynamically.
The Container Performance Trap: Running a high-throughput database on a standard Docker bridge network adds a software abstraction layer that bottlenecks speed. Run it on network_mode: "host" to get raw physical interface performance.
The Snapshot Killer: Traditional backups fork the system state via copy-on-write mechanics. If you're caching 30 GB of data, your RAM can spike to 90 GB during a background save, inviting the Linux kernel OOM killer to terminate your database. Modern multi-threaded engines bypass this by writing data chunks asynchronously directly to disk without memory cloning.
Stop paying virtual machine taxes and forcing your stacks to run with artificial limits.
