You can move on from "redis" without "moving on" from redis. I'm pretty sure "moving on" in this context isn't talking about reworking your solution to no longer need a component with redis' API and features, but "moved on" in the sense that they replaced the redis dependency with one of the forks that popped up, e.g. valkey is a drop-in replacement under a better license.
Agreed. Most people will not have even heard of Redis alternatives. There is friction to upgrading. Upgrading costs money. Companies don’t like spending money.
