I don't know how I feel about the intro. I see it has a thesis that in the past people said don't use databases, but you can use them now. It might be more straight forward to make the case that they weren't well supported and we're working to make them easier to support?

The rest of it makes enough sense. I think telling a story about how we're working to continue improve it might also work a bit better. There is an open PR for database ACLs.

I think this is a very important blog. The way I see it is that this is the fist public statement of divergent philosophy we are taken from the old fork.
For this to be motivating I would like to suggest a slightly different structure that might also work:

  1. I would start (as you did) with some mention of the old philosophy and how we see it today in Valkey.
  2. Then, I would provide good usecases were applications can use multi-databases. things like data separation, sandboxing, rollback etc...
  3. The next part (IMO) should be focused on how we extended the ability to scale with databases
  4. I would now add a section about future plans, and maybe also include our strategy (which does not target full multi-tenancy support, but aims for better observability and control over "namespaces")

One material comment, I could be convinced to leave it though, but other than that looks good to me.

The blog still feels very much like you wrote it but comes across a lot more positive now, I love most of the changes.
