I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package. This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie! The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

Awesome! A fun fact about Valkey, is that the name originally came from ValkyrieDB. We change it because only about half of the folks on my team were able to spell Valkyrie.

Oh I love a bit of history! Let's hope that autocomplete can save me from the same fate 😅
