Has there been heavy usage of AI in building this?

nowadays people will have it like either full AI or no AI, guess which one this project went like

Yes, for building test cases, for code refactoring, and commenting, because it writes cleaner code, but yeah design decisions were mine. The benchmarks I ran were what dragonfly advertises, so scripts for those were written with AI. For redis compatibility, we run redis’ own unit test and e2e test suite with every change to make sure I am not breaking anything each change and you can review it in the repo.

there's a .claude/ in the gitignore
