In this episode Martin and Chris host Kyle Davis and Dmitry Polyakovsky, two members of the Valley technical steering committee. Apart from a trip down memory lane (Kyle used to be a partner in crime when Martin and Chris were still working at Redis), this episode features insights into this more-than-instantly-popular drop-in replacement for Redis, the road ahead and how the project will ultimately contribute to the world domination of the Linux Foundation (if that stage has yet to be reached :-) - stay tuned). Plus - yes, wait for it - more bonus content on Rust, our favourite pet in the programming language zoo. Very few dry eyes in the house guaranteed with this episode, so you don't want to miss this.
