"The development of clusters could improve.

If we had a GUI, it would have been easier.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis.""It's actually quite expensive.""In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality.""I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners.
