Why?

• uggedal 16y ago
  Tokyo Tyrant is poorly documented, virtually unmaintained, and has a small community. In addition I've seen strange replication errors and locking when doing expensive operations. As an alternative I needed something simple, resource efficient, well maintained (antirez is an excellent maintainer), documented, easily deployed, easily configured, and seemingly stable. It also needed to scale down to small virtual machines. Cassandra and MongoDB was evaluated, but drew the short straw. My only complaint with Redis is its lack of features for high availability out of the box. Thankfully this is going to be addressed in the next release.
