REDIS great as K/V cache

  • Redis vs. Aerospike ... Aerospike is way BETTER. But very expensive.
  • Between Redis and MemCacheD, Redis outright is better than it.
  • Couchbase is better than Redis, but CouchB is expensive
  • Cockroach is really nice, but still kind of relatively new compared to redis.
  • rethinkDB is comparatively better than redis. But misses out on geolocational info which redis supports.

Redis Solves many application caching problems.

All are good products. MongoDB is a great NoSQL DB but didn't seem to have the high performance caching of Redis. Coherence and Xtreme Scale are expensive. In my opinion for our particular use case, Redis was the clear winner.

ElastiCache also offers Redis, but it's quite cryptic and you have to pay for support separately (it's quite expensive as well). With Redis Enterprise we were able to set-up our cluster with constant support from their team, and we were even able to set-up a particular set of nodes, cluster, and shards that we needed when we migrated from our in-house solution to the cloud.

DynamoDB is a fully managed key-value store by Amazon. It provides more powerful indexing to the tables, which certainly increases the performance if searching is what you need. However, it is also a lot more expensive to use compared to Redis. If your use case is more on the basic side, Redis would be good enough and save you a lot of money.

Redis, a fast, reliable and well supported data storage system

We initially used Memcached for some of the caching and locking solutions we now use Redis for; we found that for the purposes of our system Memcache could not match up to Redis for performance. We also found Redis to be a bit more reliable, but that could have just been down to our different vendors.

Get a cache server on steroids with Redis and get rid of those Memcached instances

Every time you don't need a document DB, you can't go wrong with Redis over MongoDB.
Google Cloud Pub/Sub may have solved one use case, but we'd still have to deploy Redis instances for other use cases, and adding another tech stack would only add complexity to our infrastructure management.
The main competitor for Redis in the cache server space is Memcached, but it falls short on some features like data persistence and data types.

Redis on high scalability world

Redis was initially in the list of competitors like Aerospike, Cassandra, MongoDB.The major point that outset all others is that it provides a number of read and writes to the database that no one can match. Another major factor is Redis really knows the basic components that we need these days, e.g. we can take mpas for geolocation, and they provide a rich set of datatypes that becomes handy.

Redis makes your application super fast.

We have also done lot of research over NoSQL databases to find what is a good fit for our application. We finally decided to use Redis because:
  1. It requires very minimal hardware to set up.
  2. Supports key-value structure.
  3. Easy data structure.
  4. Great performance compared to MongoDB and CouchDB.
  5. Redis can be used multiple ways in a single application.

Redis is the DB you didn't know you need.

Couchbase doesn't keep up with what they offer and what really does.
MongoDB just doesn't scale out, reads are performed across multiple nodes but writes still go to the single master.
DynamoDB is good overall but just way too expensive.

Redis is the backbone of our ephemeral data, from web page caching to session storage.

We are big users of MySQL and PostgreSQL. We were looking at replacing our aging web page caching technology and found that we could do it in SQL, but there was a NoSQL movement happening at the time. We dabbled a bit in the NoSQL scene just to get an idea of what it was about and whether it was for us. We tried a bunch, but I can only seem to remember Mongo and Couch. Mongo had big issues early on that drove us to Redis and we couldn't quite figure out how to deploy couch.

We selected Redis over Memcached because Redis provided more client processing options and better server handling with its computations.

About Redis

According to the vendor, Redis is an in-memory multi-model database that supports multiple data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries. Redis has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions and different levels of on-disk persistence, and provides high availability and automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster.

Redis combines in-memory, schema-less design with optimized data structures and versatile modules that adapt to your data needs. The result is an adept, high performance, multi-purpose database that scales easily like a simple key/value data store but delivers sophisticated functionality with great simplicity, according to the vendor.

Redis also enables data persistence and high availability through replication and backups. Redis Enterprise is built from the ground up to serve as a system of record for any application.
