Usecase: Superfeedr uses Redis to replace MySQL+Memcached
We all love “war stories” and the one of Superfeedr using Redis to replace their MySQL + Memcached setup is really interesting. The features that made Redis fit better Superfeedr scenario were mostly additions to the Redis 1.2.0 release
- the Append Only File persistence (find out how to migrate to Append Only File)
- sorted sets
- basic id-based sharding
And I’m pretty sure that Superfeedr will benefit of Redis Virtual Memory once it becomes available considering their deployment on 2GB slices at Slicehost.
