What's the edge case with you guys? It is cool to use Redis and come up with exotic architectures for common use cases (is there anything more common than forum threads and comments?). However, there will come a point where it just won't make sense to pay 10x more (in hardware and maintenance) than you need to, to store old, rarely read posts.
- ukandy 14y agoLooks like they provide a real time commenting system for sites. With any success that is going to be one heavily hit API.
- macspoofing 14y agoI guess I just don't see the benefit of a pure Redis approach, compared to the traditional approach of using a proper (replicated or otherwise) disk-based datastore, with caching (Redis or otherwise), especially for a forum/comment framework. It seems needlessly complicated and expensive.
