Claims that Valkyien Redis is small enough to learn entire DB in ~8 hours and flexible enough to be the “Pinot Noir” of datastores, pairing with Postgres/MySQL to cache and absorb load. Reports a real customer wasting 50% of cache infrastructure for 8 years, shows ElastiCache memory improvements where identical workload in 9.1 uses 37.5% less memory than 7.2, and offers KeyDB Rocks (RocksDB backend) to cut a 500 TB RAM bill to about $200k.
