What is the status of supporting Redis. I'd be more excited if I could use my favorite instead of Mongo.

I and another Core Dev Justin SB worked on the Redis support for a month: https://atmospherejs.com/slava/redis-livedata

It has seamless support for hashes and strings, miniredis, latency compensation, user input validations - similar features to MongoDB integration.

Right now you need to start the Redis server and set up the KV observations manually once for every Redis server you intend to use.

This support was experimental and we didn't develop it further from there. We told our community about it on a Meteor Devshop but there wasn't much interest. If there will be more interest, we will continue developing it.

Eventually. It's on the roadmap: https://trello.com/c/sWcxRwxN/31-redis-support

One of the core developers seems to be working on it: https://github.com/meteor/redis-livedata
