pro-tip to folks doing backend: redis is not a long-term storage database. don't use it for persistent data, even if you can.
just spent the last couple hours debugging a prod game failure because the long-term key size for the game finally exceeded system RAM size, and then it just got in a loop where it would get killed, restart, try to load all the data, run out of RAM, and get killed again.
just use postgres, y'all. don't do this.

@tessaracht@kitty.town Honestly if I had several architectural choices I could redo in the past I'd do a lot more "Just Use Managed Postgres". That database does effing everything now.

@tessaracht@kitty.town misread that as "reddit" and was really wondering where the post was going to go
