This is excellent news for people who needs to run Redis (or compatible in this case) directly on Microsoft Windows Server, without relying on WSL2. Previously, there was a Redis port available [1] (which is now in archive status) that had memory usage issues (mainly because of memory-mapped files AFAIK) and, of course, is no longer supported. It's also quite intriguing for me to see it's written in C#, as that's my native tongue. I'd be keen on dedicating some time to delve into the code. [1]: https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis

After the aborted/abandoned attempt to port redis to windows (0) this feels like a second-try at the same thing, but first party. Of course, as a research project it doesn't have the same stability / support, etc. as redis, but I could easily imagine this rolling into a real product if it's popular. ...and as an MIT license, if nothing else, the code is a fun read. :) [0] - https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis?tab=readme-ov-file...

I will circle back in a year or so to see if this 'sticks' -- very few Microsoft open source projects provide enough value / demonstrate enough inertia this early in their lifecycle to justify any investment on my part. https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/issues/556 (Jun-Sep 2017) >Why do MS always do this??? Start something, announce it aloud "we are now open source, we are now this and that blah blah" then quietly do a 360 and moonwalk away

> Netflix and other companies have created a really rich platform, between logging and monitoring technologies like this; message queueing; deployment; and so on. In the Windows environment there's precious little to compare to. Have you looked at any of the following for the various gripes you mentioned? I came from a primarily Linux background until recently, but I know .net and Windows have good tooling that extends beyond my modest list below. Looking to Microsoft to provide every option is probably not the best way to go about it, not sure if that was mostly what you were looking at so far. https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows.html (company I work for uses it for messaging between their services) http://nlog-project.org/ (we also use that as a base framework for our logging) http://getakka.net/ (never used it on .net but can't do
