This take screams more than a technical criticism but of something personal. “I'll be blunt: I don't care for Redis. It is slow, it has fake transactions, and its query syntax is a freakshow. Our experiments at CMU found Dragonfly to have much more impressive performance numbers (even with a single CPU core). In my database course, I use the Redis query language as an example of what not to do.” (From the article) Of course it’s not to be used as a general purpose DB it’s keys and values. Used for caches and things like that. In my experience in real world scenarios and loads vanilla single threaded Redis is stable, fast, and nigh bulletproof.
