Those with a bit more experience understand faster is not always better. Databases thought to be battle-tested encounter incredibly complex and near impossible to predict failures of the most absurd kind. You can go back and look at some crazy behavior hundreds of people have worked to resolve regarding TTL contracts within Redis.
The ease of "appearance of value" today is the uncanny valley for software. The repo looks professionally organized, you can PAY for it, the preliminary benchmarks are looking good. Overlooked are the testing, validation, backup, failure recovery, practical behaviors, and most importantly: honesty.
These projects would get more love if it was declared up front that they were heavily AI generated projects and shouldn't be used in production since it has the air of practical utility.
It's probably a great drop-in replacement for Redis for a raspberry pi project that has low stakes. The smaller 1MB disk footprint and the performance difference could be impactful. Personally, I wouldn't be using this in production for at least a few years after hobbyists have their go at revealing its hidden near-guaranteed flaws.
At least I can broach TTL issues and gather reasonable insight on Redis vs Elasticache nuance based on the thousands who have encountered the issues.
Because it's AI slop that some grifter vibecoded yesterday with no unit tests that supports about 2% of Redis's feature set (notably missing transactions and any attempt at data integrity)
