This is a fun story of Redis, which is a pretty incredible and widely-adopted solution these days. I played with Redis a long time ago, and I still remember how clean it was to build. You could grab the source, configure and make, and it was a delight how clean it all worked. And the software itself was so stable. Good stuff.
