BetterDB

BetterDB is building the tooling ecosystem for Valkey, the high-performance Redis fork backed by AWS, Google, and Oracle. Starting with observability — historical persistence, pattern analysis, anomaly detection, and Prometheus export — so you can debug incidents. They ship OSS self-hosted and run a live cloud SaaS. The team releases frequently; the company hired its first engineer last month and is looking to expand the team. To apply, run BetterDB (cloud, npm, or Docker) and then email kristiyan@betterdb.com with a bit about yourself and why this is interesting to you. The posting notes that they reply to everyone, though it may take a day or two given volume.
