Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard runs it standalone on a server you already pay for — no addons to provision, with zero-downtime deploys and scaling still included.
Deploying Dragonfly is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- A drop-in Redis replacement with higher throughput and lower memory overhead on multi-core servers
- Caching and session storage for apps that already speak the Redis protocol
- Shared in-memory state across services without running a Redis cluster
Good to know
- Speaks the Redis wire protocol — point any Redis client at this app using DRAGONFLY_PASSWORD as the auth password
- Snapshots to the mounted volume on its own schedule; this isn't a managed Railyard addon, so backups are your own responsibility
