Good catch.

From inspecting the Ruedis API, they are allocating in the same way as the other popular libaries. There is no way (that I can tell) to stream a large blob from Redis into a Writer of your choosing, so you're always going to allocate the size of the object + miss out on concurrency.

Edit: clarified that I'm referring to ruedis and not redjet

From https://github.com/ammario/redjet#streaming

  To minimize allocations, call (*Result).WriteTo instead of (*Result).Bytes. WriteTo streams the response directly to an io.Writer such as a file or HTTP response.

Sorry, my comment wasn't clear that I was referring to ruedis and not redjet. I edited it.
