It says that it only stores metadata locally not objects themselves (although it could probably have an option for that too and serve as a general S3 cache).

Nice effort, Redis is perfectly fine but I believe that the storage layer should be somehow more separated in case someone wants another type of storage, e.g. in-memory SQLite is adequate and already installed in most systems.

I agree about with you about a replacement for redis. Maybe it's only me, but I seem to be relying too much on redis for simple things. I feel that soon enough I'll need 4 independent redis servers for my production environment.

That's of course tongue-in-cheek, but there's a degree of seriousness.

Good idea. Maybe in the future it will support different backend databases. For now, Redis is perfect.
