Why Redis cloud over Google Memorystore?
- anon_436967 4y agoWe use Redis for the source of truth for some of our data. More key-value store than cache. Pros of Redis Cloud over Google Memorystore for Redis: - Five nines uptime SLA, vs three in GCP. - No sharding support in GCP, which limits scaling write throughput. - GCP persistence is limited to hourly RDB snapshots whereas Redis Cloud supports append only file (AOF). - During migration we needed to access our Redis instances from Heroku. We're not on Heroku's Private Spaces, so we can't set up a VPN. We'd need to set up a proxy like Twemproxy or Envoy to expose the Redis instance but with Redis Cloud we can just make sure the firewall is open. - Redis Cloud's support is pretty awesome. Had an engineer available during our migration. GCPs support is okay at best. Cons: - Memorystore is quite a bit cheaper. - No GCP IAM integration.
