I’m always more curious about the operational story, but new projects tend to focus on the low-level implementation.

I love Redis, but managing HA is a pain and requires a good bit of engineering on its own. I think this is how RedisLabs stays in business.

This seems to separate backend and front end, maybe so you could use a more appropriate storage for your use case?

But what would a production-ready deployment look like? How would you handle failover for patching or… failure?

Adding a front end can sometimes double the problem needing to have 1 failure setup for it and 1 for the backend. If I were to use the slab storage (looks really ideal for most of our workloads), how would that work?

Too much to answer here, but stuff I’d like to see as it matures. It’s the unsexy stuff, I know. Way more fun to get into the bits.
