Overall Satisfaction with Redis

We have tried using Redis to move from a relational DB to a key-value logic. In view of the use of a DB not SQL, it is certainly performant even if unlike other SQLs, it requires a little more reasoning about the proper analysis of the key value to be used and the way in which they are then interrogated.

Pros

  • key - value logic
  • no SQL structure
  • really speedy queries

Cons

  • need an initial implementation
  • without a correct key - value queries do not perform
  • need a change of the actual application to move from SQL to Redis
  • SQL server freed from workload
  • less effort to clean up unnecessary data
Initially, we were unsure whether to use Redis or MongoDB., in reality, they are both no-SQL databases but can be used both as needed. certainly, in my opinion, it is more reasonable a DB no SQL MongoDB than Redis, the key logic value of Redis is certainly performing for the cache while for a concept of unstructured and open data is more functional MongoDB.
It is probable that we will renew it as we currently have a production environment that is using it so it will surely be our interest to follow the updates and to evaluate if possible a new renewal to keep the production environment up to date and avoid application problems.
If you want to increase your database queries changing from SQL to Redis probably you can optimize your performance using in-memory cached by Redis, doing this you can have a better workload on SQL servers but you have to configure correctly your complete infrastructure. Furthermore, you need a little bit of time to test your calls with a stress test.
