I do not understand why would a developer (or development team) change the licensing terms of their software for something stricter, like Redis did. Could someone tell me what the factors are?
I guess it's things like AWS Elasticahe that made them want to provide their own service without sharing the code with their soon to be competitors.
Great timing that Microsoft just released a drop-in replacement that's in order of magnitude faster: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet
Written in C# too, so it's incredibly easy to extend and write performant functions for.
It needs to be a bit more deployable though but they only just opened the repo, so I'll wait.
Can it do everything that redis can?
Not everything. There's a list of currently supported and unsupported apis on the docs. Streams aren't supported at all, for example.
The repo description says it works with existing Redis clients, so probably.
