Neat project, but I will be sticking with Redis. I trust Redis to not do something weird with their licensing or pricing in the future. Plus Redis has billions of production hours under its belt. It's easier to install and understand.

100% on that. I think Garnet (and similar YARP) are useful if you build your own tweaked version of that. Otherwise, off-the-shelf or PaaS thing are more useful. Also, this is Microsoft Research. This thing is code sharing not a product. The real interesting part is what Azure will do with it.

This is a project from Microsoft Research, so I would worry a lot less about licensing and pricing than about lack of updates (either features, maintenance, or security ones)

  I see this becoming an Azure service. But you are right, half of the Microsoft Research projects fizzle out within a year - unless used internally.

Maybe. Patents are certainly a question, because of the license. Microsoft has definitely been aggressive about patents.
