How much of the functionality of Redis are you testing? How can I tell what functions you are supporting?

super cool. we pull in a lot of software when we build our apps on top of packages. each package does a thousand things and the app uses only a fraction of it. in this case, it's probably a bunch of OS packages.

Interesting and very much needed to reduce the attack surface for bringing down security threats to container based deployments

It is hard to imagine why one would not want to eliminate such a large portion of ones attack surface with the limited effort you describe

That's impressive. Will you be adding new containers regularly?

Thank you Coder Vinod, very interesting project, I am going to give NGINX a spin ... do you have a list of stuff you removed anywhere so we can see what you took out and what you left in?
