- kwdc 5y agoFor that temporary use case, how does it compare to memcached?
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoMostly boils down to Redis having a richer API, and memcached being faster / more efficient. The new EXT store stuff allows you to leverage fast ssd's to cache stupid huge datasets. Memcached is also one of the most battle tested things out there in open source. I've used them both plenty over the years, but tend to lean towards memcached now unless I really need some Redis API feature.
