Redis is like 0 for 3 from a CAP perspective as far as I understand it. Fine for a cache, but if you want a KV store you can rely on for some properties, it does not seem viable. So redis is 'tried and true' but may not meet your constraints. https://www.quora.com/What-is-Redis-in-the-context-of-the-CAP-Theorem https://www.quora.com/What-is-Redis-in-the-context-of-the-CA... I haven't read the Faster paper yet (planning to) so I don't know that it provides better guarantees. But I personally would like a simple-as-redis KV store that provides better guarantees. edit: Ah, yeah, Faster doesn't seem to even really be directly comparable to Redis - seems more like rocksdb, and not a distributed system.
