"Do you really need < insert well-tested, verified technology > ? Why not just hand-roll your own in < different technology > ?"

Indeed this is silly, to me this sounded like "Do you really need a drill? Just hammer this screw down!".

As with all things, if the goal is exploration, hell yes try this out.

If you're actually trying to solve the problems Redis is meant to solve, just use Redis. Otherwise you become the sole maintainer of a glued together, suboptimal version of Redis based in Postgres. For most people, they'd rather build whatever caused them to need Redis in the first place, rather than building their own internal worse-version-of Redis.
