Super interesting. Wonder why anyone would pick something like DynamoDB over this moving forward? Seems like you lose serverless pricing, easy scaling for free, and global replication but you gain performance and don't get locked into a proprietary database.
EDIT: I guess you get secondary indexes and other sorting/querying options beyond what the Redis API offers. Also looking at current instance pricing for MemoryDB, looks like this won't work for large datasets. You'd need to have a data retention policy in place to archive "cold" data.
Hey Advait! Glad to see your work here man :) Will be watching the project closely over the next year. Having recently re-built authn + authz using Cognito (we evaluated Auth0 and building it ourselves as well) I can confidently agree that doing auth right is hard and complex. Especially once you get into social providers, keeping identities synced, MFA, etc. Excited to see where the project lands!
