Garnet

Garnet is a remote cache‑store developed by Microsoft Research. It delivers high throughput and low‑latency performance, supports scalability via clustering (sharding, replication, key migration, checkpointing, failover, transactions), and seamlessly integrates with existing Redis clients. Garnet offers much better throughput and scalability with many client connections and small batches, relative to comparable open-source cache-stores, leading to cost savings for large apps and services. Garnet demonstrates extremely low client latencies (often less than 300 microseconds at the 99.9th percentile) using commodity cloud (Azure) VMs with Accelerated Networking enabled, which is critical to real-world scenarios.
