For my site, I use Redis in addition to PostgreSQL for these purposes: - User session storage - Asynchronous "queues" for background processing using Streams (was able to eliminate RabbitMQ from my stack when I switched to this) -

I get at least 3 or 4 of these emails a week, and my site is a user-generated one along the same lines as HN or Reddit. They link to some thread vaguely related to a topic (e.g. VPNs, pets, gardening), usually compliment me on that "ar
