Because 1) a lot of startups seem to choose "startup technology", i.e. whatever famous startups are using, just because it seems fashionable and/or they don't consider if it'll actually solve their specific problem; or 2) they're technically curious and end up using it just for fun, even if it's not a good fit for their problem.
I've seen people using Redis for their MVPs, which is hardly necessary to serve 100 or 1000 or 10000 users. When you have a hammer at hand, everything looks like a nail.
- aidenn0 13y agoAs far as Redis goes, is there really much of anything in the space between bdb style KV stores and Redis? If you have design reasons for wanting your KV store in a separate process, why not use Redis?
- jmngomes 13y agoI agree with your point, my example was about using Redis for performance reasons when designing/building an MVP, a stage where you are unlikely to have a (real) performance problem.
