There’s a difference between the transport and the protocol. For instance I’ve used Redis fronted by TLS in the past. Initial connection did get more tricky for sure, needing to have the certs in place to first connect. However after the connection was established with OpenSSL I was able to run all the usual commands in plain text and read all the responses in plain text. Having transport layer encryption on the TCP connection didn’t effect the protocol itself at all.
