Overall Satisfaction with Redis Software

It's our primary caching solution used to store request-ids, user profiles, message ids for de-duplication, etc. We have about 25 clusters of Redis Software running on Elasticache and it scales without any issues.

Pros

  • Easy to integrate, simple data models.
  • Highly performant at significant scale.
  • Easy to deploy and manage.

Cons

  • Replication
  • Durability
  • Clustering
  • Allowed us to scale the product to 100M users without much effort.
  • Can scale vertically without any impact on the client operations
  • Easy to use data-model that fits the native objects of the programming languages easily.
It's one of the simplest software to use for caching and provides an easy-to-consume and integrates the data model.
Redis Software has a simpler data model than Aerospike.
Memcached doesn't provide any data structures.

Aerospike isn't supported on Elasticache.
