> Dragonfly expects you to have the latest hardware[6] and the latest kernel[7] on all your servers. I find this outrageous because not all servers run 5.10

I don’t understand why this is “outrageous”? There’s performance features and better hardware utilisation in newer kernels? If you want the performance offered by the applications built on top of these, then arguably you should be prepared to run the hardware and software required to achieve this.

not if I can get equivalent (if not better) performance on my existing hardware

From your own numbers, Dragonfly get ~3.6-4 times better perf than Redis, and better than keydb (which is “just” multhreaded redis-simplifying). That indicates pretty clearly to me that we’re not getting same-or even close performance-on existing hardware; and ultimately, if performance is that important, shouldn’t we be giving our applications every advantage they can get?
