On: JunoDB: PayPal’s Key-Value Store Goes Open-Source

It says it stores things on disk, rather than in memory.

Redis has persistence since a while now

[danpalmer → arthurcolle]

Redis essentially can’t store more data than what fits in RAM.

While it has persistence options, they’re for durability and backup, not to increase the storage available.

JunoDB appears to store data primarily on disk, and limits storage by disk size, but then caches in memory as necessary perhaps. Quite different in behaviour and trade offs to Redis.

Thanks the the info!

[tyingq → arthurcolle]

Yes, though, I imagine it's not at all the primary use case. Knowing they have different primary use cases seems relevant.

[arthurcolle → tyingq]

Redis persistence I would imagine is certainly a primary use case these days, but I can appreciate that perhaps this is not the case.
