Overall Satisfaction with Redis

Redis was used in a project to merge live data from different sources. Then by using Lua scripting we were able to make some further aggregations and data binding for better results. It was essential for us as preparation for next steps.
We also used it as session storage manager for some other projects.
  • It's fast for key value hashes operations.
  • Lua Scripting extension is really powerful.
  • Single-threaded.
  • Using Redis gives us the chance to create new products.
We divide projects between Redis and Elasticsearch Service. In some parts or modules one of these two databases fit better than the other.

Session manager - With in-built expires it's the perfect solution for that scenario.
Data binding as we can use its key value architecture to store data from different sources under the same key so they will be automatically matched. And with now previous data structure we can extend for example hashes horizontally.
It may be costly to use it as persistent data storage.
