Missed my chat with Dragonfly's CEO on why single-threaded design "doesn't cut it anymore"? You're probably still using one.

We discussed how they rebuilt Redis from the ground up. Watch the "sharp takes" replay.

Cybercriminals know the key to a successful ransomware attack isn’t just encrypting your primary systems, it’s taking out your backups too. Because if an organization can recover, they won’t pay the ransom. 💸

When ransomware hits, your backups might be the first thing attackers go after. 😬
Rubrik’s Chief Product Officer Anneka Gupta joins Corey Quinn to talk about AI, cyber recovery, and what real resilience looks like when everything goes wrong.

CFOs don't care about your benchmarks; they care about the bill. Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz says they deliver better performance and cut costs (30-80%). Possible?

Nobody swaps core DBs lightly. But slow sites get people fired. When Redis hits scaling limits, pain forces change.

Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz tells me their goal is a low-risk upgrade, not a migration gamble.
