What a crazy mess of services, so sad to see. redis was such a beautiful, elegant and pragmatic code base that was extremely effective at what it does. It looks like they are trying their hardest to make it more enterprisy to squeeze every last cent out.

Isn't this just a collection of addons/plugins on top of the "actual Redis"?

If so, what's your objection? To me this amounts to more or less just expanding the Redis ecosystem, which feels like a win-win.

You can really build pretty much anything on top of a K-V store, but I would hate to be vendor-locked into Redis ecosystem.

Just develop for an interface, instead of an implementation.

Migraring data is no fun, but much more straightforward than rewriting a good part of your code when you decide to switch database.

It would be great if ElastCache supports this

This is made of separate codebases with new licenses, instead of being part of the MIT-licensed Redis, in order to prevent AWS from doing that.

True, you can always run vanilla Redis.

Having said this, it really gives me the sensation that Redis is trying to solve too many use cases, turning into some sort of Swiss knife.

The reality of Swiss knives is that they don't excel in anything of the things they do.

We feel like the most important part required from a low latency DB, Redis "Vanilla" and Redis Enterprise already cover. Now, we can leverage this amazing platform to provide a real low latency multi model DB on top of it.

The first link on the page: Getting started gives 404, page not found. Hopefully the doesn't happen with the product itself.

Someone's been silly with their links. They've linked the "getting started" text you linked to "https://redis.io/docs/stack/getting-started", however in their navigation they have a separate "get started" link which points to "https://redis.io/docs/stack/get-started"

Around two months ago I was excited to learn about RedisJSON, only to get to know that there is no ARM-based Docker image available for installing it on a Raspberry Pi.

What is the logic behind separating those from the core server? Binary size? Automatic configuration?

"Wow this has a lot of features" vs "wow what are all these extra things I need to sift through to figure out what I need", no?

It's the hot take culture. Some people see internet forums as a vessel to unleash their toxicity.
