I couldn&amp;#x27;t quite get that from reading the blog post or the doc page. Specifically:&lt;p&gt;What kind of modules did you have in mind when designing this? Are any of the below possible?&lt;p&gt;* ldap backend login system&lt;p&gt;* multi-tenant redis&lt;p&gt;* alternate db format&amp;#x2F;file system.&lt;p&gt;* implement a new redis data type. say built-in date support&lt;p&gt;* can i implement new commands and operators on said data types&lt;p&gt;An of course, thanks for this fantastic software. We use it everyday. Will read in more detail about this over the weekend :-)</text></comment>

Instead of cluttering up the core engine with junk people can mix in their own functionality.</text></comment>
