Redis Reviews

I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required. If I'm using a user wallet address, I don't need to call it all the time from the database. I do the cache using the solution.

The solution allows you to create a message of application publishing and messaging the application in other services. It helps a lot when I work with the microservice architecture.

I have been using Redis for four years.

I haven’t faced any stability issues with the solution.

I have never faced any issues with the solution’s scalability.

The solution is easy to set up and has very clear documentation.

To deploy Redis, you need knowledge about JavaScript, programming, and how data structures are stored. It takes around five to ten minutes to deploy the solution.

With Redis, I can create lists and key-value pairs. The solution also provides many features for storing data in cache. Storing data in memory using Redis is faster than using traditional databases like Postgres or MySQL.

If you are communicating with the services, you can use the solution's Pub/Sub capabilities to send messages, store data in cache, and share it with other microservices. The solution's data persistence model has greatly benefited our resilience, especially when storing any key-value pair.

You can install the solution on the local machine or cloud servers like AWS or Google Cloud. I would recommend Redis to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I am using Redis in a product I have developed.

The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast.

The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud.

I have been using Redis for approximately three months. It provides a database caching user information related to the access token. Mainly for authentication purposes and caching large objects.

I have not noticed any problems with the stability of the solution.

The solution has good scalability.

I have not used the support from Redis.

The initial setup of Redis is simple. The process did not take long and the most time-consuming part was the design phase because you have to use the Ashmap in the proper way.

Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees.

My advice to others is if they need a solution for caching or support operations that do not have a lot of relationships in data and you need it for caching purposes Redis is a good choice.

I rate Redis a nine out of ten.

I'm the only user utilizing Redis in my company, as my platform is relatively new and has around fifty users. However, in my previous role at Profit Clicks, we had approximately ten thousand users. We utilized a combination of databases, including Redis, MongoDB, and MariaDB. We needed to handle push notifications for our users, sending them three times a day, and managing a large volume of notifications efficiently was crucial. Redis played a role in managing this workload.

I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios.

There are some features from MongoDB that I would like to see included in Redis to enhance its overall efficiency, such as the ability to perform remote behaviour. MongoDB is more efficient in handling updates than deletions and is quicker in processing updates, but it can be slower regarding deletions. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially when dealing with large datasets or frequent data manipulations that involve deletions. In such cases, I often rewrite columns or update values instead of directly deleting data, as it can be more efficient.

I have been working with Redis for the last year approximately.

Redis is stable and works well without any issues on my end. I occasionally encounter problems with MongoDB because MongoDB has a very different stack.

It is a scalable solution.

Redis requires occasional maintenance, but it is generally a low-maintenance solution and is straightforward to manage. I haven't encountered any difficulties or downtime after updates, as Redis is robust and concise.

I haven't explored AI-driven initiatives yet, but they are on my road map. I would recommend Redis for all kinds of caching and message brokering needs. It's a reliable and straightforward solution.

Overall, I would rate Redis ten out of ten.

Our organization's main use case for Redis is to store and load static content for our multi-client products.

The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data. 

The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly. 

I haven't contacted technical support yet. 

The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs. 

If you have a large amount of non-dynamic data that needs to be delivered to the client, you should use Redis. I don't think that it will support AI initiatives since it doesn't support continuous data. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. 

I have been using a specific infrastructure. We use it primarily for customer service.

It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology.

The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier. But no one provided a GUI, or maybe we didn't request it. I'm not sure. We just make use of it.

My experience with this product has been very good.

It's been very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster.  So there are some details we get, like customer contract details, customer details, customer ID, there are so many details for that.  So we get it from Redis, which makes it faster.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I would recommend to explore this product as it's gonna make the work easy.

I use the solution for saving user sessions and user data for different applications.

The online interface is very fast and easy to use.

There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution. 

The product should create awareness about its scalability.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is very stable.

The product is very scalable.

The initial setup is easy.

The deployment could take one to two weeks.

People using the solution should be aware of all the features of the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Sometimes, Redis is used as a cache and sometimes as the main database.

Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution.

Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.

I have been using Redis for three years.

I rate Redis a seven or eight out of ten for stability.

In our team, around 20 to 25 engineers are using the solution.

I rate Redis a nine or ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support team was quite knowledgeable and fast.

Positive

We previously used other solutions like DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, and Postgres for different use cases. We switched to Redis because maintaining the cluster for Elasticsearch was very complex and a lot of work. Also, the other solutions were very, very expensive.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Since we're using the AWS self-managed version, Redis can be deployed very fast if you go through the console. If you do an infrastructure, its setup will take longer. But if you just want to play with it and set it up quickly, it can be done in 10 to 15 minutes or less.

The solution's pricing is good compared to other databases doing the same thing. It might be cheaper to use Redis in some cases and not in others. Redis is not an overpriced solution.

Redis is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

When it started, Redis had a very simple structure, but now it has a lot of powerful data structures. Users should investigate because they can use other things for their data structure. Redis has more new use cases. Users must consider that Redis is single-threaded, which might take a toll on them when they write to Redis. This might be an issue if you need very high throughput with writes.

Overall, I rate Redis a nine out of ten.

We use Redis for caching and to improve the speed of the database. 

The product offers fast access to my database. 

I have been working with the product since 2022. 

Since implementing the product, we have experienced stability in our applications.

The solution is scalable. 

The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis. Once they gained expertise, the deployment process became straightforward and was completed within a month and a half. A seven-member team helped with the deployment. 

Redis is an open-source product. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten.
