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.
