Ain't it cute 'splaining what redis is designed for to the person who designed it

One of my CS professors told the story about when MCSFT demonstrated their implementation of the Korn shell at a USENIX conference. Gasbag on stage tells the guy in the question line that he (questioner) has misinterpreted something in the software's original intention. Gasbag figures out something is up when half the room cracked up. The guy at the mic was David Korn, author of the Korn shell.

You win the "someone on HN made me laugh out loud" award. The last person to win it was like a month ago so good job.

Honestly, the relatively high probability of this happening is part of what makes HN great :)

Redis is not designed for scaling. The 'default' version is a single-core app without any focus on availability.

Yes there's Redis Cluster, but that's a separate thing, and most Redis installations don't use it.

Redis is absolutely not designed for scaling. Maybe valkey is but I've yet to use it
