Solid product with some limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Small feature set, predictable performance, auto-expiry of data, very fast, very simple text based protocol, simple administration, easy to understand where your data is and what's happening to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say I was enormously pleased when they introduced Lua scripting. The main selling point of the data store was it's simplicity and predictable performance. It would have been preferable that a couple more commands be implemented in C rather than bring stored procedures into the mix. That choice was probably based more on product development than customer need, and again the main attraction was the premise of simplicity. In fairness, it's been a couple of years since I last used it in production so perhaps it's worked out really well since then.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used it for auto-expiring caches, it's great for that particular use-case. Can also be used as a convenient buffer for batch processes. I wouldn't put anything into Redis that I couldn't afford to lose, I guess it's more like memcached in that respect.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Why not give it a try? It's simple enough that you can get it running in 10 minutes. The basic commands don't take a lot longer to master, and there's some advanced stuff you can do later. I would consider it ideal for transient data storage.
