This isn't really true. Although having a built in redis may be possible, the fact is that production elixir projects do use redis on a lot of cases (for example as a task queue). ETS is rarely used because of its complexity.
- sph 4y agoRedis might have a nicer API but the ops of maintaining another service is not simpler than just using ETS that is built in the platform. I'd rather choose Redis only iff I hit the limits of ETS. And 99% of apps won't even get to that point.
