The rise of distributed applications and cloud computing has created a demand for scalable, high-performance key-value storage systems. This paper presents a performance evaluation of three prominent NoSQL key-value stores: Redis, Aerospike, and Dragonfly, using the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) framework. We conducted extensive experiments across three distinct workload patterns (read-heavy, write-heavy), and balanced while systematically varying client concurrency from 1 to 32 clients. Our evaluation methodology captures both latency, throughput, and memory characteristics under realistic operational conditions, providing insights into the performance trade-offs and scalability behaviour of each system
