...the more they diverge? /s

It's been interesting to see the wrap-around. It happened more quickly than I thought it would.

The one lesson that never seems to stick is "use the right tools for the job at hand".


You guys are both right.

However what we are trying to provide is a different tool.

I believe we all appreciate the power of an SQL engine but also the simplicity of operation of Redis.

Here we are trying to bridge the two, a powerful SQL engine that is extremely simple to operate.

You can actually create a new lightweight database, with a simple comand and have several different process (microservices in different machines?) connect to it.

Finally I really believe in the NoSQL movement, but sometimes you just need to park your data somewhere and have join and filters without the hassle of operating a postgresql instance...

I exposed the main motivation of the project here: http://redbeardlab.tech/rediSQL/motivations/


The more things change...


I (the author) replied to the other comment, you may be interested.


My point is maybe different from theirs. SQL and the accompanying approach to defining data structures are very durable notions.
