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...
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".
