      What is Dragonfly?

      It is a modern in-memory datastore, fully compatible with Redis and Memcached APIs. It implements novel algorithms and data structures on top of a multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture. As a result, Dragonfly reaches x25 performance compared to Redis and supports millions of QPS on a single instance.

      What is Kafka?

      Kafka is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It provides the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design.
