Dragonfly presents Redis- and Memcached-compatible APIs, but your application's command usage and memory behavior must be tested directly. Replay representative cache operations, including expiry, transactions or scripts you rely on, and high-concurrency bursts. Compare results and latency with the current store.
Simulate restart and memory pressure so eviction or persistence surprises appear in staging. If the data is more than disposable cache, document recovery requirements explicitly. Adopt it from workload evidence, not a peak benchmark alone.
