Overall Satisfaction with Redis
Redis is used as cache storage in our data visualization application where response time is key. We use Redis for some of the flag features in a system with more than 20,000 internal users. This in-memory database helped to solve many of the use cases we've had on our product like user based caching, realtime analytical operations on one time fetched results.
- A modern key-value store in-memory database.
- Redis [is thorough] and details user documentation.
- Data distribution on a multi-tenant cluster is easy and reliable.
- It lacks support for datatypes that are available on other products.
- Making it work with Celery is a bit hard and sometime it's not reliable.
- Lacks better UI like other systems.
- Redis is easily one of the best open source in-memory database to invest in.
- Redis is best for caching, easy to set up, and it's easy for anyone use with the help of its great documentation.
- The distributed cache makes it even faster when using multiple data-centers across continents.
UI isn't that great compared to the other competitors.
The management of our memcached cluster was becoming pretty complicated as the application grew in size. Redis is a much better option compared to memcached.
Redis is bit unreliable compared to the alternative RabbitMQ especially when it needs to be integrated with Celery.
