I suspect he is going to make a lot of money coming back to save Redis from the negative press they have been having recently as well as the threat of Valkey. I sort of have to view it in light of all the other events that have been happening to Redis.

Well, I see this as great news. I've been tinkering with vector search myself and really don't like the APIs, query structures, even the embedding steps required. Anything that makes it simpler (and faster) is most welcome. I do hope Salvatore keeps doing emulators for MCUs, though :)

Thank you Rui, my target is: API that can be learned and used under 120 seconds. I don't think more of this is needed, for the basic usage. Then there could be other stuff, but it must be incremental. Easy things must be easy.

World does need unlimited amount of software and I think it can even be mathematically proven. Amount of software required grows exponentially because every piece of software then requires even more software on top of it - just like managing security issues in al the software built, etc.

I covered this in the blog post: no big money involved, I asked to rejoin and without a big paycheck on purpose because to be free to act you should not get too much money, otherwise it's all fake.

Will be interesting to see how the Valkey community reacts to this

I don't think it changes the negative business actions that the company Redis has been doing. But it likely means that Redis may actually evolve now, rather than being a static target.

Well, the VSIM example I got inside of 10 seconds, so at least for now you're on track :)

But if you wanted to have influence without a big pay check, why not join Valkey? Redis, the company, in your absence has gotten a reputation as a predatory company that has attacked open source projects in other to further those goals.

And Valkey with backing from AWS, GCP, and Oracle don't make any money at all ... wait aren't those trillion dollar monopolies?
