Global Presence; I made a thing

KeyDB

KeyDB is a fork of (everyone's favourite cache store) Redis, and it's messaging protocol and API is 100% compatible with Redis. What that means is you can just point any Redis client (like Hiredis or redis-rb) at a KeyDB instance, and it'll Just Work™️, with no changes required. The KeyDB selling points are: 1) multi-threading by default, and a lot of work was ploughed in to high performance around multi-threading in KeyDB, 2) compatible with all the features of regular Redis, 3) some advanced features which Redis only offers in it's paid/enterprise version are included for free in KeyDB, and the big one for me is multi-active replication, which is what I'm playing with here.

Fly.io

I've been playing with Fly.io for a while and trying to get my head around it's implications for the general Web Dev landscape. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's a platform that allows deploying apps to multiple datacenters around the world, with Anycast DNS to automatically route incoming requests to the closest datacenter. Pretty edgy. Essentially it provides devs with a set of superpowers that were previously only available to large tech companies.
