http://db-engines.com/en/system/Redis%3BRiak gets the main point: Redis is for "Applications that can hold all data in memory, and that have high performance requirements."
I know we chose Riak with leveldb backend as we couldn't have all data in memory. Also Redis doesn't shard, so it won't scale to the size that Riak will. Also secondary indexes worked really well for us. - Peace Dave On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 6:39 AM, Suman Kumar <sumanku...@freshdesk.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like use riak as a key/value store only so what it differs with > respect to redis and why should i go with riak instead of redis? many people > say riak but i don't see any clear difference why riak over redis.
