True, you can always run vanilla Redis.

Having said this, it really gives me the sensation that Redis is trying to solve too many use cases, turning into some sort of Swiss knife.

The reality of Swiss knives is that they don't excel in anything of the things they do.

We feel like the most important part required from a low latency DB, Redis "Vanilla" and Redis Enterprise already cover. Now, we can leverage this amazing platform to provide a real low latency multi model DB on top of it.

you can really do a lot in terms of building structured query engines on top of a simple performant key:value store

It's always been a Swiss Army Knife. It's a single-threaded-in-memory caching, pubSubing, streaming, distributed-locking beast.

Except the one thing that do excel at: being swiss army knives.
