There's a bit of a non sequitur here. Does the author think that Redis wasn't marketed? Or that most of Redis's users are using Redis in a way that it wasn't designed for?
Sure, there's a difference between creative thinking and doing something that somebody gave you the direct inspiration for. So what? By definition, you can't build a product for off-label reasons. If you knew what the off-label reasons were, then you could market them and put them on the label. Off-label uses basically just happen or they don't, and it's not really the purview of the product builder to try and force it to happen.
- matt123456789 5y agoI don’t want to speak for the author, but I think the point they were trying to make can be clarified using the difference in marketing between Redis (from redis.io) and Redis Enterprise (from redislabs.com). The former includes a description of the problems that the software solves. The latter includes a “Solutions” tab that tells CXOs how to use it in a way that makes money.
