I can't understand this comment now, after the youporn success story... Isn't this enough for enterprise people? Ok seriously now... Groupon did an event a few days ago about how they use Redis with success, Twitter uses Redis for caching timelines, Github does a good use of Redis, and similarly do many other non trivial companies, like Craigslist, Stack Overflow, Digg, ... Those are not "enterprise" companies, but the problems they solve are not different, so IMHO the real problem is a cultural barrier. I think that this is just a matter of time.

Seriously, neither can I, and you're right that it's a culture problem. I am genuinely trying to do my part to overcome that. Towards that, it would be nice to see more in-depth expositions of setups, and above all, an honest description of any issues and problems. I'm trying, antirez, I'm trying... :)

  One tried-and-true solution is to use it on "non-enterprise" projects (small, invisible, failure-tolerant) within your enterprise, then mention that you've used it, then use it on something slightly less obscure and mention it again ... worked for Linux in the '90's.

  What worked for me: I tried new things (ie: ruby, continuous integration, redis...) first on low-risk projects, then used that feedback as a self-proof (look! it works - maybe it can go a bit further?).

  The other simple thing to point out is all of the issues with "enterprise" software you guys use. That label doesn't mean software doesn't have bugs. That being said...i agree with the others to use it on smaller projects (to get used to oddities with it, etc.) and to show the "higher ups" ... look..it's fine..we've been using it in X, Y, and Z for months. Also, I think it would become _more_ prevalent once a 10gen / datastax / percona like place pops up for it (so mgmt can put a checkbox next to "support")

My group are using Redis at a really big Canadian company. It's a 'VMware' database if they ever ask! Haha.
