KeyDB is flaky garbage


Whoaaaa I’d love some details on this reaction, do you have any stories or anecdotes to share? I have to say I’ve never hit its limits so I’ve never lost trust in it



Please explain


We got hit by [0] and so had to pin to an older version (we didn't raise the issue).

Also, just look at the amount of open bugs and their age [1]

They also recommend using swap for some reason, however if your memory usage reaches the point where swap is being used the performance is so bad that the machine may as well be dead.

It's been nothing but trouble, which is a shame because the changes they've done to redis have crossed my mind too. We'll probably move to Scylla.
