Overall Satisfaction with Redis
We use Redis as a distributed cache and distributed lock for our microservice environment. We have so many machines performing jobs that it's hard to make sure no task gets dropped or accidentally gets performed twice. And that's where Redis comes in--to store the global state or what jobs have been done in a fast, reliable way.
- Helpful customer support.
- Reasonable pricing.
- Keeps Redis software secure and up-to-date quietly in the background.
- Replies from customer support via could be a little faster. We're on the basic plan, and it can take up to 2 business days--it's not fast enough when your bugs need to be solved right away.
- Reduced number of bugs released.
- A single point of failure if Redis goes down due to some bad queries.

Redis is extremely battle-tested by most engineering organizations. As a consequence of that, almost everyone we hired knew how to use Redis already so there was no further training needed.
