Overall Satisfaction with Redis
Redis is being used extensively by our Web/Cloud department, of which I am a part of. We use Redis essentially for cache'ing but we pretty much try to use it for as much as we possibly can. Almost any information retrieval that we can offload to Redis will save as money, as well as reducing our response times. That is, any time we know that our data requirements are simple enough for a key/value setup to suffice, we use Redis - and in my opinion, anywhere we do not do this is a mistake.
- Response time - the time taken to store or retrieve something from Redis is minuscule compared to most of the alternatives that we are aware of.
- Value for the money - every time we offload data storage to Redis it saves us money, compared to using something like MongoDB or AWS.
- Better documentation.
- Reduced infrastructure cost.
- Improved response time on API requests.
- Price
- Product Reputation
