Github: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet Competitors: 1. DragonflyDB: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly 2. Lavik: https://github.com/eloqdata/lavik DragonflyDB is famous for 4 millions QPS on single node. While Lavik focus on optimizing Redis workload on NVMe SSD.

I get excited every time I see a paper from Bradish. I've learned so much about high performance software from studying systems that he has worked on. (not to diminish his many co-authors and contributors) Some of his other projects: [0] https://github.com/microsoft/garnet [1] https://github.com/microsoft/FASTER [2] https://github.com/microsoft/Trill

I don't see how it's worse? https://github.com/microsoft/garnet/blob/main/LICENSE It's MIT licensed?

Microsoft made one called Garnet, I wouldn't say its a fork though, its basically compatible with Redis and implemented mostly in C#. It supports the RESP wire protocol from Redis for ease of compatibility. https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

Microsoft created a managed, wire-compatible alternative: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

Microsoft also last year released their own Redis-client-compatible key-value store, Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

We've switched to https://github.com/microsoft/Garnet and been very happy

Pretty much every non-GUI (and GUI if it's Avalonia/Uno/etc.) .NET application, unless it uses niche things like windows registery or management API, is by definition platform agnostic and runs wherever .NET runs (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD(with caveats), Android, iOS, Windows, sometimes in browser with WASM). Most businesses which have moved away from old versions run their server workloads on Linux hosts within K8S or otherwise. Popular applications that run on Linux are Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin Sonarr (and other High Seas apps): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr Ryujinx: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx (the kind of project that could likely compete with writing a browser in complexity) Bitwarden (server): https://github.com/bitwarden Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet (likely the fastest Redis implementation

Java has been fine for infrastructure projects. There is so much out there that relies on things like elasticsearch, Kafka, or any aws service. Heck even the columnar dbs like pinot and Druid are most likely more used than clickhouse. C# is also fine for this, just way less popular. Recently ms put out https://github.com/microsoft/Garnet when the redis debacle happened. The Apache project has helped put out quite a few large infra projects, most of them in Java (I don’t know why this is but assume they have lots of resources to help with that, and also that people don’t like debugging memory crashes). Ms has just been not the greatest collaborators with their open source community. A lot of the time it seems like they want to do the initial foundation, then leave “drawing the rest of the owl” to the community, which ends with lots of part

You would be surprised by performance of modern .NET :) Writing no-alloc is oftentimes done by reducing complexity and not doing "stupid" tricks that work against JIT and CoreLib features. For databases specifically, .NET might actually be positioned very well with its low-level features (intrisics incl. SIMD, FFI, struct generics though not entirely low-level) and high-throughput GC. Interesting example of this applied in practice is Garnet[0]/FASTER[1]. Keep in mind that its codebase still has many instances of un-idiomatic C# and you can do way better by further simplification, but it already does the job well enough.

Not really that exciting, Microsoft was already putting efforts into https://github.com/microsoft/garnet instead

As it currently stands, it is as difficult to get data onto Azure - you're supposed to manually deploy a container yourself to whichever cloud provider you are using, there is no "Managed Garnet" solution yet (but given hype it will probably arrive at some point). Either way you can see contributions to add more commands here: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet/pulls?q=is%3Apr+add+comm... With that said, I'm slightly skeptical of/worried about Garnet but the reason is different - it received a bit too much hype soon after going public and I'm concerned it will be subject to corporate politics that often plague projects like that.
