This sort of makes me sad. Redis has strayed from what its original goal/purpose was.

I’ve been using it since it was in beta. Simple, clear, fast.

The company I’m working for now keeps trying to add more and more functionality using Redis, that doesn’t belong in Redis, and then complains about Redis scaling issues.

This is what I see everywhere. Something is a success and then everybody starts using it wrong. Like Elastic search as database, people use it for searching and then start using it as primary database. Mostly pushed by management BTW not always the software engineer.

You'd be surprised how many engineers make these kinda decisions.
