Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Redis-compatible protocol, including search, vectors, and Lua scripting. Commands run on every core rather than one thread. Claims faster performance than Redis, including better p99 latency. Runs on a different port by default. Written in Rust.
