On: The Fastest Redis Ever

[theshrike79]

I always just think of Redis as a HashMap As A Service that only supports string keys.

It's nice if the stuff stays there, because my application will be faster. If it goes down I need a few seconds to re-populate it and we're back.

You should use Memcached if you're only using Redis as an ephemeral hashmap. It's much faster.
