I'm really enjoying Redis. Fast, stable, and full of functionality.

Its main challenge, I think, comes from forcing you to think of structuring data differently. Especially coming from a strictly relational database background.

I've seen it mentioned quite often before 😉 Never done anything in it, tho 😉 Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I think the general view on Redis is that it's just a cache mechanism (that's why I started using it), but then learned there's so much more to it that that.

2021 is the year of Redis for me. I'm going to find more use cases for it, and build stuff with it.
