Overall Satisfaction with Redis
Redis is being used as a cache for real-time locations. It serves the last known location of users sharing their location with other users in real-time, thus being an essential part of our organization.
- Storing geolocations - Redis has built-in geolocation storage capabilities, thus saving us the time of developing the logic ourselves.
- Serving fast info for real-time apps - To anyone who works with real-time applications, fast information is the basis of good user experiences.
- I think the documentation could improve. It's not always clear, especially for engineers that are new on Redis.
- Redislabs admin interface could use a tune-up, maybe being more informative and with a better UI.
- I think the main cons I see in Redis could be that it may be a bit too obscure to new users.
- Redis improves the UX of our app by allowing us to show real-time geolocations instantly on user connections. Given that our app is a massive carpooling app, improving our UX allows us to be seen as more reliable and stable.
- A faster server response to our app.
- The built-in geolocation capabilities have saved us a lot of time on having to develop that logic into another database.

In my experience, when someone talks about a fast and reliable cache database the first thing that comes to mind is Redis.
