Counter point of a real world implementation where they tried to make it the primary data store.
- Svenskunganka 10y agoHave you even read the article? This was caused by Mongo running with a wrong flag, and the authors explicitly said that their backup script only contained ONE backup. That's bad engineering, not fault with Redis. Redis is extremely safe if you configure it correctly.
- fweespeech 10y agoYes, on a small number of nodes it works in a handful of use cases. That isn't the same as it being equal and equivalent in terms of reliability at scale. They resorted to weird hack-y shit for something I use MySQL or Postgres for on a regular basis. So have most people who built stuff on Redis like this: > I use Redis as the primary and only database. > Additionally, it has data persistence reliability on par with Postgres and other battle-tested databases[0], so couldn't be happier about that.
