Why keep buying servers for RAM? Lavik combines NVMe SSD capacity with throughput above Redis on DRAM. Explore the architecture, benchmarks & economics of a 300-to-3 consolidation.

What on earth is running on that, Panantirs spying database ?

Do you mean the use case of a 300-node Redis Cluster?

It’s very common. Since Redis typically runs with 2 vCores per node, a 300-node cluster can only store about 2.4 TB of data.

It’s common in human-centric feature stores and profile stores. But it’s even more common in agent profile stores, since agent profiles are a much larger category.

what is anagent profile store that is deployed at the scale of terabytes? Do you mean, for example, logs of agent sessions that run on providers?

Haven't seen anything more "hyperscaler-brained" in a while.

Do you have comparisons against Dragonfly?
Re:Migrate Your 300-Node Redis Cluster to Just 3 Lavik Nodes by hubertzhang on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @04:33AM (#50270675)
Yes, we compared Lavik with DragonflyDB on flash

Does anyone read websites like these? AI scrapers maybe?

I'm the author... Codex is co-author but the blog “Migrate Your 300-Node Redis Cluster to Just 3 Lavik Nodes” is reviewed by myself.

I swear I've seen this link a couple of days ago.

Yes, I think it's Hackernews admin help to promote this one.

The three node setup doesn't make sense to me. Why not offer a user-selectable RAID-like choice instead (or even no redundancy)? Also, I don't like the idea of having any node labeled as Primary.
