I was honestly shocked by this too, I never intended Sidekiq users to left in a lurch like this. It took them over three years from the RESP3 release before their service supported it. I figured any good SaaS should be dogfooding their own releases, but I guess not!
- pm90 2y agoThis is a very common but wrong assumption. The OSS and Cloud divisions of most companies are very different beasts. The engineers that staff them are different, and their focus is different. This has often lead to issues where the company that creates the project doesn’t always have the capability to support it at scale. TBH, while I don’t support that kind of behavior, the cloud providers probably provide the best SaaS support for most OSS projects, just because of the operational capabilities they have created.
- saghm 2y agoHaving not heard of any of this before now, I'm struggling to wrap my head around why this would be evidence that they're not good stewards of Redis-the-project (as opposed to their Redis service). If they had delayed the general release until their cloud could support it or tried to expedite their cloud release by moving resources over to the cloud services, I feel like that would be much more worrisome in terms of their stewardship of the project as a whole. If anything, it sounds like they basically chose to prioritize Redis in general over their own offering, which is exactly what I'd expect people in the community to want.
