I've done multiple large scale implementations with shopify paired with many flavors of order managmeent systems as well as competing offerings in the space. The only one i haven't touched that i'd like to get my feet wet with is commerce tools.
I really just disagreed with the assessment that redis is not good enough for the job for a reservation system. I use sql database all the time, I prefer them. But I'm seeing a claude written article here that seems to heel turn on a proven technology, it would at most be insightful if there was human content in here from actual engineers at shopify who want to vouch for and explain the challenges they were up against with redis rather than just expect me to take claudes word for it. Anyone who's been dabbling with AI knows damn well that you can convince claude to write up a dissertation on any hill you want to die on.
- akamaka 2mo agoIt’s unfortunate that the writing style wasn’t up to par, but I want to point out that I read the entire article and it doesn’t contain any criticisms of Redis. From the sounds of it, Redis worked perfectly and achieved what they wanted, which was beyond the capabilities of a simple MySQL implementation of the system. In the end, they found a way to make it all work on MySQL, which solved some of the inherent complexity of using multiple databases side by side (but again this isn’t a criticism of Redis, the same problem would exist for any pair of databases).
