Definitely agree with memcached. This has been entirely bullet proof for us for years. We have had lots of nodes with billions of hits each running non stop for

  While memcached is great. I feel like its hard to argue for both redis AND memcached. It seems like redundant infrastructure unless you have very specific needs.

    Yes I agree there. I would err towards redis these days myself as well, not necessarily using it for anything persistent unless you need to.

    It's not a good idea to use a single Redis instance for both caching and persisted/transactional data (background jobs). For background jobs, you need real-time persistence with AOF. For caching, you want everything in memory, and you need an LRU cache that evicts any old data. This means you should run two Redis instances with different configurations. But in that case, it can be a good idea to use Memcached, which is recommended by Mike Perham [1].
