Redis as a Cache vs Redis as a Primary Database in 90 Seconds

The text discusses Redis, which initially started as a caching database but has evolved into a primary database. Many applications today use Redis as a primary database, although most service providers only support it as a cache. Using separate databases and caches can add complexity, compromise latency, and prevent the full potential of Redis from being realized. However, with Redis Enterprise, users can leverage both an in-memory cache and a primary database in one system, eliminating the need for multiple systems. This also allows for building modern applications and low-latency microservice-based architectures on top of Redis. Additionally, Redis Enterprise offers auto-scaling, clustering, and Active-Active Geo-Distribution features to ensure high reliability and global scalability.
