Finding the Perfect Tech Stack

Thanks rcruz. Redis has a few advantages over other NoSQL databases<p>1. Redis is a Disk-backed in-memory database so its blazing fast. 2. Redis also has an easy pub&#x2F;sub built in so you can easily use it communicate between servers in your nodejs cluser. 3. Kue is an amazing open source priority queue which uses it as a backend by default.<p>For small datasets that don&#x27;t require you to query within your json, its an amazing database.

Given that you&#x27;re already using Redis with Kue, why not use Redis in place of MongoDB?<p>Additionally, why have you chosen to use a key-value store initially instead of a traditional SQL store?

Great post.<p>I see you&#x27;ve chosen redis over other NoSQL variants. Does it give you a certain advantage in this scenario?
