, designed to fully utilize modern multi-core hardware where standard Redis is traditionally single-threaded. Key Features and Performance KeyDB - The Faster Redis Alternative keydb eng

Benefits of Using KeyDB

• libc malloc (glibc’s ptmalloc): Simpler, faster for certain workload patterns, but suffers from fragmentation.
• tcmalloc (gperftools): Thread-caching allocator that excels at reducing lock contention. Recommended for high-core-count systems.
