A lot more knowledge in the relevant space that I have. I could spend a week or two learning necessary information, analysing our use cases and then implementing it finally (which I would never get the time to, from a business perspective). Or I could use an off the shelf product that is probably better than whatever I could come up with, given, even, unrealistic amounts of time to perfect it. I could come up with something more suited to our use case only, but the moment the use case changes, I'd wonder why I didn't just go with Redis. I haven't actually looked into a DIY method though. I just know I want something like Redis for our user table, because it's hit a lot, and the traffic tends to be repetitive.
