Redis is still there, didn't they do something similar?

Hell yeah ! I've been waiting for this to be integrated into Redis.

Why not contribute to Redis instead of re-inventing the wheel?

dvirsky • Jun 17, 2021 • View on HN

Redis Labs are more or less doing the same.

What was the issue you had with Redis?

how does this compare with Redis Labs?

cal97g • Oct 8, 2019 • View on HN

That guy is saying that alternatives to redis are better, meanwhile he's still using redis..

Very cool! Any reason why this wouldn't make its way into the official releases of redis?
