Do you feel that e.g. Redis fails to satisfy the same definition in basically the same ways? If it does fulfill the criteria, what do you see as the distinction

- notthistime12 2y agoRedis is a key-value store.
- jitl 2y agoA key-value store is a type of database.
- rehevkor5 2y agoCalling Redis a database is a generous generalization. For example, Redis does not necessarily provide the same kind of durability as a database does, nor the capabilities one would expect from an RDBMS. In many cases, depending on configuration, it might be more appropriate to instead refer to Redis as a cache, an in-memory database, or a NoSQL database.
