Valkey Is Rapidly Overtaking Redis
One of the challenges Redis labs here have is that there's very little reason for their userbase to stay loyal to them.
antirez retired from Redis development a few years ago.
From https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors it looks like activity since he left has been mostly from people who didn't overlap with him much.
Redis Labs have not shown themselves to be outstanding stewards of the project as far as I can tell. Why shouldn't people support the fork?

Best engineering interview question I've gotten
> Multiple clients racing can't be fixed.
Really? You can't think of a single way for multiple clients to operate on the same data without racing? (Here's a hint if you're still having trouble: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Commands#cas.)

How to choose the right type of database
Memcached: A simple, open-source, distributed memory object caching system primarily used for caching strings. Best suited for lightweight, non-persistent caching needs.

Sieve is simpler than LRU
Oh, thank you! I didn't realize that LRU Maintainer Thread was more than an expiration reaper. When it was first being introduced that was its first responsibility as lazy expiration removal by size eviction meant dead entries wasted capacity. It was all work in progress when I had read about it [1] and talked to dormando, so it got fuzzy. The compat code [2, 3] might have also thrown me off if I only looked at the setting and not the usage. Its a neat variant to all of these ideas.
