Yes, we found it to be very useful for things that require durability and transactions. Previously we use JuiceFS community edition with Redis as metadata backend. The main issues are 1) potential metadata loss and 2) Memory capacity limit. We tried EloqKV and it seems to work really well. Anybody use EloqKV in production yet?

We’ve been using EloqKV to replace one of our largest Redis node (we didn’t want to run Redis Cluster, just a single big node). One pain point we had with Redis was the RDB fork causing latency jitter during persistence. EloqKV handles this much better — the fork-related stalls are gone, and so far it’s been a smooth drop-in replacement for our workload.
Thank you. Indeed we do already have several large multi-national companies using EloqKV in their production environments. Please contact us if you have any further questions. Moreover, we would be really interested to hear more details about your usage scenario. Metadata store for JuiceFS is a very interesting use case for us.
