Highlight 1
Strong performance benchmarks, with throughput that surpasses Redis by a wide margin.
Highlight 2
Redis compatibility, making it easier for developers to adopt without learning a new command set.
Highlight 3
Open-source availability, encouraging community contributions and transparency.
Improvement 1
Documentation could be expanded with detailed examples and deployment guides to improve developer onboarding.
Improvement 2
Lack of production-readiness validation, such as stress testing under real-world workloads or clustering support.
Improvement 3
Limited visibility into ecosystem tools (monitoring, integrations, client libraries) which would make adoption easier.
Product Functionality
Expand functionality with clustering, persistence options, and monitoring integrations to improve production readiness.
UI & UX
Enhance the GitHub README with diagrams, setup walkthroughs, and real-world usage examples for better clarity.
SEO or Marketing
Improve discoverability by publishing benchmark results in blog posts, engaging in community forums, and comparing with competitors in detail.
MultiLanguage Support
Add documentation in multiple languages (e.g., Chinese, Spanish, Hindi) to reach a wider developer audience.
