Infrastructure should be boring

The text discusses the importance of reliable and simple infrastructure in today's fast-paced world. It highlights that while there are exciting technological advances like AI and self-driving cars, they often rely on unreliable infrastructure. The author mentions Redis as an example of a popular but not necessarily boring in-memory datastore. They then introduce the Dragonfly project, which aims to create a boring in-memory datastore that is reliable and simple to use even when workloads grow beyond a few dozen GBs. The author encourages engineers to strive for boring infrastructure and invites readers to learn more about their project on GitHub, Discord, or Twitter.
