Dude... I do not think you know truly how many people love Redis. For every contrarian armchair quarterback here on HN there are 1000 people who are out using/coding/hacking w/ Redis and not caring about the noise. Myself included. Thank you and all the contributors for the hard work on an absolutely killer tool.
We use Redis in production for millions of customers and never had an issue, super solid and the code looks great even from someone with only a poor knowledge of C. I'd definitely investigate the code further if I had the time as I'm sure it would be very educational. Thanks too for your engagement with the community, I think everyone appreciates that a lot.
I don't use redis, but the code quality is so high and it helped me understand how to write good looking C APIs which are also performant. Congratulations on the release.
I would also like to extend my sincere thank you to @antirez for building such a wonderful piece of software (lean & mean) that has not only helped me personally but has also played an instrumental part in the growth of several large tech entities over the past decade. Hats off to you sir and thank you again!
I'll also take the opportunity to say thank you, for creating Redis. I tried Redis when it first came out, mostly just experimenting with it. I had not used it in production for many years and have recently made aggressive use of Redis 5 as a diverse caching layer, replacing Memcached among other things. It has simplified my service infrastructure and it has been super reliable. It's delightfully easy to use. Probably my favorite software to work with right now.
