Like micro-services, it's not a bad idea, but it's not the hammer for every nail as people who write books and blog posts seem to push for (they've now moved on past blockchain to AI).

If you have a problem that logically has different async services, sure, use Redis or something. Databases also were able to handle this problem, but weren't as sexy, and they explicitly handle the problem better now. Just another tool in the toolbelt.

NoSQL was another solution in search of problems, but databases can handle this use-case better now too.
