We've used Redis for many things, including as a cache in front of S3 and Riak. Redis allows you to set it's maximum memory and various eviction schemes (including LRU, which works great for a cache). In our application code we try to fetch from Redis, if it's missing, we restore from Riak (or S3) and then try again.
