This kind of attention to detail is all too rare these days. I love Redis, because I have never, not once, ever had to wonder whether it was doing its job. It is like a constant, always running, always doing a good job and getting out of the way.

It only does a few things, but it does them exceedingly well. Just like nginx, I know it will be fast and reliable, and it is this kind of crazed attention to detail that gets it there.
