Beanstalk vs. Redis Enterprise Cloud™*

For business or personal applications, where you wish your code to remain private and/or proprietary, Beanstalk could be a good fit. If you are also interested in beginning to automate with relative ease, their tools can be a great help. Code reviews can also be a key factor in the decision, as they provide a good framework for accountability.

Redis Cloud is very well suited for scenarios where fast data access is required or somewhat unstructured data needs to be stored. For us, it has worked very well for user session storage. However, if you have large amounts of structured data that is not frequently accessed, Redis is not the solution and a traditional relational database is likely more appropriate.

• Interface is not always intuitive, some areas are easier than others to navigate.
• Price plans are a little odd. However, they do seem to be flexible if a plan does not quite fit your needs.

• The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

If you are creating open source applications, there is almost no reason not to use GitHub. If you do need private repositories (for proprietary or private, business or personal use), Bitbucket could be an excellent solution. Beanstalk's main advantages lie in the support (which is excellent), deployment tools, and code review features.

I've used Heroku Redis and RedisToGo. Redis Cloud has the best free/developer plan, and we have never had an issue.

• Increased automation => better accuracy and efficiency of maintenance/launches
• Better insights into ongoing work and past modifications to code => lower chance of error and more efficient troubleshooting

• Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.
