      I think you are highlighting an important point that are missed by other commenters emphasizing the developer. I prefer GPL over MIT license. But this is a possible fallback if Redis decides to change its licensing (like several others did).

      I think these kind of products have strategic significance for MS for their Azure offering. They are probably preparing to offer this there (in addition to and as an alternative to Redis). So, it makes sense for Microsoft to release this with an OSS license (otherwise no one will adopt it).

    It’s nice that this is compatible with Redis clients, and even Redis cluster operations. But I wish they would take this opportunity to make scaling more ergonomic. The Redis cluster mode is a pain to use because certain commands don’t work on a cluster (and developers don’t seem to realize this, leading to implementation issues).

    It is from Microsoft, cool. So next week we have a new remote cache-store solution with a new API use that instead. Just rewite all the projects that use the old one that is not supported any more. We love our developers
