Overall Satisfaction with Redis
Redis is our primary caching database. We cache most of our intermediate results for backup and scan operations using Redis. Of late, we have also been using it as a message queue. The performance is excellent and features like automatic failover and cluster management are very helpful. All necessary data structures like lists, maps, etc. are supported.
- Automatic failover
- Exhaustive set of data structures
- If you want some simple messaging service, Redis pub/sub is excellent.
- It's difficult to understand the use cases initially. The website should talk about "why Redis" first, then "how".
- Increased server throughput is something that was very helpful.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
The usability and excellent support caching are what attracted us.
Redis was our first and last choice.
