A clear cloud-migration episode about Redis, scale, and the limits that show up under load.

This episode treats InDrive's shift from an on-prem monolith to AWS microservices as a practical systems story. It is strongest when it stays close to the work: Redis geo lookups, city-level indexes, fast-moving drivers, and the point where single-threaded limits start to…
