Absolutely agreed. Redis is a godsend for small time traders like us. I've scaled up to where I'm trading on about 20 crypto exchanges in addition to dabbling in stocks and prior to redis I was using flat json files to store all my data so every time a new price came over the wire the bot would read the file, parse the json, append the price then write it all back out. That was quick and easy to put together and it worked great at first but later when I had all the exchanges going even with an 8700k and Optane drive the computer would just fall over when volume got high. Got sick of that, converted it all over to redis with rejson, added another 32 gigs of RAM and problem is utterly solved. Redis' built-in queue has been extremely useful too as a job system.
