Overall Satisfaction with Redis

Redis is used for transnational processing and scoring of customer data models for pub/sub-distribution to other models of data.
  • Redis provides the ability to score data quickly.
  • Redis provides the ability to distribute this info in a fast manner.
  • Redis provides an alternative method for data retrieval which lessens the load on the database access.
  • Greater emphasis on Pub/Sub capabilities more in line with Kafka.
  • Redis has helped to save time by reducing our usage of data access methods on our server.
Redis allows our client architecture to respond quickly for requests that are not required for traditional database methods. It also serves as an intermediary between mobile and client architecture.
  • Price
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Our organization has benefited by using Redis as in intermediary to replace Firebase for database propagation methods and distributing message notification between clients.
We selected Redis over Memcached because Redis provided more client processing options and better server handling with its computations.
Well suited for keeping track of scoring scenarios.

Poorly suited for long term storage of data.

Evaluating Redis and Competitors

I would start by defining the entire use case and future product development cycle.

Redis Implementation

Whitelisting of the AWS lambda functions.
  • Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
  • Whitelisting of the AWS IP addresses.

Redis has lots of documentation publicly available so we do not require much support.
ProsCons
