Is possible Django ASGI with Channels + Dragonfly?

Hello guys!

I was reading about Dragonfly and the comments are that it is much better than redis. Is there a possibility to use it together with Channels in Django ASGI?

Thanks.

Dragonfly appears to advertise itself as a drop-in replacement for redis, so you could certainly give it a try.

What would make something much better than redis? Forgive my ignorance, I’ve just kinda always set redis and then forgot about it haha so rarely think about how i might be able to improve it.

They claim that by making it multithreaded it will perform better - a claim that i don’t accept at face-value.

hmmm interesting. Maybe I haven’t hit the volume / size limits of default redis enough to be concerned with its performance. Only issue I’ve ever seen is being memory constrained and generally just solved that with a bigger dyno / aws config.
