> E.g. your linux distro might no longer package it and you might have to rely on packages maintained by redis which might not be as well integrated into your distro (although lots of users probably don't care about that) This might be me living in a bubble, but OS packages for this kind of server software really feel like a relic the past. Containers have been around for a decade and we now have tools like podman that run without privileges or daemons. I run my freakin' Raspberry Pi 4GB as a pure container host, just because it makes the system cleaner and more reliable at almost no cost. Now I'm sure some people still want to `apt install redis`, for example to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of hardware, and more power to them if that's what gives them the best results. But Debian maintainers have to do a lot of dull, unfun work to update, test, and bugfix native packages for Redis and Mongo and RabbitMQ and... is that really a good use of their precious, unpaid time? To make the UX and performance only slightly better than 'podman run redis'?
