How is it misleading when the whole point is that Redis can only be single threaded†? That's why Dragonfly (claims) to scale better. If anything, it's the Redis rebuttal that comes across as misleading; the posted announcement is very up front that Dragonfly's value proposition is that you get vertical scaling for free without having the additional ops overhead of a Redis cluster, which is very much not free in terms of maintenance and opportunity cost.
†: Redis 6 added threads, but AFAIK this is only for handling connection I/O. Actual database access is still single threaded. The only way I'm aware of to scale Redis is via clustering.
