I built a SaaS app with per-tenant caches. Initially I used Redis but ran into scale-up issues, so I tried DragonflyDB. It works well in general, but my Lua script use case isn’t supported by default.

The use case is straightforward: each tenant has cached objects like: `cache:{tenant_id}:{object_id} → cached JSON/doc`

I also maintain a tag index to find all object IDs with a given tag: `tag:{tenant_id}:{tag} → set of object_ids (tag example: “pricing”, “profile”)`

When a tag changes (say “pricing”), I use a single Lua script to look up all object IDs in the tag set and then delete their cache entries in one atomic operation.

That use case aligns perfectly with EloqKV’s capabilities. In pure cache mode, batching multi-key deletions within Lua scripts can significantly reduce latency by minimizing client–server round trips.
