Just saw this today and I am pretty stoked. It’s just a drop in replacement and performs > 10x faster under workloads with many client connections. Not that I found redis slow, but in Enterprise workloads that’s a lot of money saved. $50k Garnet clusters handling similar workloads for $5k would be significant.

It being essentially entirely written in C# makes it pretty easy to read, understand, contribe to, and extend. Custom functions in C# have a pretty low barrier to entry.

I get that there’s probably going to be a lot of hate just because this is released by Microsoft developers… But in my opinion the C# ecosystem is one of the best to build on.

    Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

      It’s for sure AI generated articles. Time to block softonic.
