Overall Satisfaction with Redis
In our project (high load web application with 10k+ users) we used Redis as a user session store, as a distributed cache for web front end servers (with PubSub notifications for changes propagation), and for notification service.
- PubSub notifications: easy to use and just works.
- Redis has a lot of different data structures and it's easy to find the best one for any problem.
- Simple lightweight protocol.
- It just works and works fast!
- Single threaded nature of Redis can hurt if you not following best practices. For example, small values, don't use heavy blocking commands.
- Expiration can be set only on a key level, and cannot be set for a hash item.
- Increased server throughput.
- Simplify building distributed applications by providing building blocks.
