I thought Redis was a cache, not a database.
- brianwawok 9y agoWhat is a cache vs a database? You can use mysql as a cache. Most people would call it a database. Really this article is dumb. I think almost never would you need to choose redis vs mongo. Redis is a weird and hard to describe product. For example you can use it as a queue over rabbitmq with celery. Or a cache with all kinds of things. But it does more. And an empty instance runs in like 3mb of ram and handles thousands of connections.

- brianwawok 9y agoI strongly disagree, NoSQL databases are almost never ACID but they are almost always a database in how the term is used.
- zepolen 9y agoYou can store data in it sure. You can store data in text files too.
