We're also dependent on mysql, are you gonna implement that in Elixir as well? Redis is a great piece of software, and it's a real SHARED cache, so it could work for sessions or other small state management you sometimes want to remember for example. What you described won't work for that.
- pdimitar 6y agoBoth are not equal at all. Redis you can definitely do without. A database you can't skip in most apps. Sessions work quite fine in Elixir's local cache as well. :)

- pdimitar 6y agoHint: it's most likely habit. It's no accident that there's even a library that emulates OOP patterns in Elixir.
