Performs much better than traditional databases, integrates well and lot of learning resources available
It improved the performance. For example, data structures like hashmaps in Redis make it a very fast database – much faster than traditional SQL databases. It can perform at significantly higher speeds. Latencies are very low. Our primary focus wasn't on saving money but on improving performance for that specific feature. So, performance has been the key improvement. Every calculation happened in real time. It improved the performance 10X. In our company, we have limited resources, so we can't manage the database ourselves. We use services from Azure for that. So, Redis integrates well with those services. We use Azure Cache for Redis.
