Congrats! Although I look back fondly on the many years I spent on debugging cache incidents (https://danluu.com/cache-incidents/) I don’t think the rest of the world should go through the same bumpy road.

It’s truly interesting to see a new generation of applications not only doing away with using bare metal hardware, but continuing to be built on increasingly higher level abstractions.

Of course, the key is for those abstractions to be dependable in production as well as easy to use. I think Momento actually takes runtime predictability quite seriously.

Thank you Yao. We have been studying the lessons learned around the industry from caching outages as well as techniques employed by the giants to run great caching fleets. Our mission is to make those benefits available to everyone without requiring any effort. We have certainly learned a ton from you and your team at Twitter.
