I use the Redis service. It's way less expensive. around a 90% less expensive for me. It has all of the high end features. Fault tolerance, etc.

AWS does not compete on price or performance and the Redis servers are hosted directly in whatever cloud facility you'd like.

On final note. Since setting it up, I've never had to look at it again.



Do you use Redis on flash by chance? I'm guessing it could help reduce reliance on more expensive memory-heavy servers (and their higher cost), but I don't hear often about real experiences with the enterprise version of Redis.


I use the RedisLabs SaaS. No idea how it works and I don't want to know.

Regarding the speed difference between Flash and RAM etc, it's a very interesting topic.
