Thank you! I clarified a bit in an edit but JSON was not the goal, just a means to store data in Redis. In MySQL we had normal tables with columns. I hadn't been considering a NoSQL database before, but I'm certainly considering it now!
Oooh now I understand. Writes on normalized tables (with index rewrites and such) can be slow. I'm not 100% up to date on MySQL (I main use PostgreSQL) but I remember there's the possibility of having a JSON column for destructured data. Maybe you can test that before moving to a separate NoSQL DB.
I would test a JSON column, then if it's still too slow I would consider a separate DB. Maintaining one DB is still better than multiple DBs :D
Let us know about your findings, I'm very curious!
