I just started using MongoDB in a Python project; it shares a lot of the advantages (vs. SQL) mentioned in this presentation -- there's a natural mapping between the BSON in MongoDB and Python dicts.
What are the pros & cons of Redis compared to MongoDB?
- necubi 16y agoThe cool thing about redis is that it supports a bunch of different data structures: (ordered) sets, arrays, hashes, queues and more. There are a lot of db operations that are very natural with such support that are harder to force into the basic key/value paradigm exported by MongoDB. Also, redis is really simple to use which makes it useful for many cases where a full database might otherwise be overkill. For example, I've used it for storing results from experiments for further analysis. It's easier than a flat-file and much more performant.
