- Stripe engineers published a detailed report on Redis issues, leading to a Hacker News discussion.
- Redis now supports diskless replication, reducing the need for persistence in master-slave setups.
- Antirez suggested using average latency alongside the 99th percentile to identify outliers like EC2 spikes.
- This sparked Twitter backlash, with critics misinterpreting the suggestion as promoting averages over tail latency.
- Despite the misunderstanding, antirez plans to shift focus from Twitter to blogging and the Redis mailing list.
- He emphasizes that his time is better spent on development rather than unproductive Twitter arguments.
