Dragonfly Operator

Dragonfly operator is the preferred way to add Redis support to your application as it is modern Go rewrite and it supports high availability.

Following alternatives were considered, but are discouraged:

• Vanilla Redis without replication is unusable during pod reschedule or Kubernetes worker outage
• Vanilla Redis' replication is clunky and there is no reliable operator for Kubernetes to use vanilla redis
• KeyDB Cluster was unable to guarantee strong consistency

Note that vanilla Redis has changed it's licensing policy

For users

Refer to official documentation on usage

For example deployment see here

Use storage class redis for persistent instances. To achieve high availabilllity use 2+ replicas with correctly configured topologySpreadConstraints.

For administrators

The operator was deployed with following snippet:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly-operator/v1.1.6/manifests/dragonfly-operator.yaml

To upgrade refer to github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly-operator, bump version and reapply
