For anyone interested in what the Americas looked like before and after Columbus, I highly recommend the two books, 1491[1] and 1493[2], by Charles C. Mann. I finish the first one and I'm half way through the second one and really openend my eyes. Great reads!

Amazing, thank you. I've been meaning to build something like this for a while but never got around to it. Glad it exists now!
The title does say that it can work with existing redis clients but it's unclear if they mean full compatibility.

Must be something local to my network or my isp then. Still doesn't work and I tested it on a few devices now. Really weird.

Edit, works on mobile so definitely something specific to my wired internet connection.

I can't seem to connect to any Google Cloud URLs. Not even the status page. Anyone else?

Mind expanding or linking a reference on the why that's the case?

Looks nice! But a custom error page concealing then technical error would be a good idea: https://www.styvio.com/api/spy

The page returned a 500 for me, bad omen for Java 16? :)

Send me an email. I know a few people at Amazon. They might be able to help.
