The full walkthrough below — every screen from the video, with the narration transcribed. Skim it, search it, or read it in your own language.

Any Language, One Store — Zaris Speaks Redis — screen 1 — Zaris is a distributed, replicated key/value store built for .NET — but as of 2.0.0 it also speaks the Redis wire protocol, so any Redis client, in any language, can use it as a drop-in. Here's a four-node cluster on Kubernetes, every node healthy.

Any Language, One Store — Zaris Speaks Redis — screen 2 — The four nodes, one per machine, data sharded into partitions with a primary and a replica on different nodes — a highly-available cluster.

Any Language, One Store — Zaris Speaks Redis — screen 3 — Each node also exposes a Redis-protocol listener. This is the ordinary redis-cli, pointed straight at a Zaris node: PING, SET, GET, a hash, a counter — served by Zaris, spoken in Redis.

Any Language, One Store — Zaris Speaks Redis — screen 4 — Same store, another language. Python's redis library — three lines — writes and reads the very same keys.

Any Language, One Store — Zaris Speaks Redis — screen 5 — And it all lands in the one cluster — the console's data explorer shows the keys these clients wrote, replicated across the nodes.
