Overall Satisfaction with Redis

We're using Redis in our development department, as a layer on top of regular databases (MongoDB, MySQL), as cache, and for other critical data storage.

Pros

  • The main point: speed.
  • Easy to use and integrate with the rest of the components of our system.

Cons

  • Full-text search support
  • GUI tools
  • Pricing
  • Reduced main database overload through caching as much as we can to Redis.
  • High-speed authentication process in some of our apps.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Third-party Reviews
Actually, it depends on when we make the decision and also what product is being developed. Sometimes it was the price (especially at the beginning of the product development), and sometimes it was the availability (for example, when we decided to move the authentication layer to Redis as a top layer).
Actually, our CouchDB usage has been testimonial, so I can't do a good comparison.
MongoDB, Node, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
I think it is perfect for managing temporary auth tokens and for caching.
