Note that FASTER is not directly comparable to Redis, as FASTER is not just a cache. FASTER can index and access data larger than memory, as well as take consistent checkpoints for recovery, more like a persistent hash key-value store + cache combination. FASTER is multi-threaded and latch-free as well, which gives it very high performance on a single machine.
Some recently completed and ongoing/future work items on our roadmap can be found at https://microsoft.github.io/FASTER/roadmap. For instance, in FASTER C#, we recently added log compaction, support for deletes, inline variable-sized allocations, and a read cache.
