Redis to the Rescue

In working on a project I was having some issues with storing data with a MySQL server that required many read/writes. Normally this wouldn’t be a huge deal except for the systems are states away from eachother with less than reliable throughput and no option for scalable cloud solutions. I did however have another host in close proximity that was capable of hosting a REDIS based server for me to read/write to. I have worked with REDIS once before but this experience has been AWESOME so far! Key/Data stores are one thing but the speed of this technology, when implemented correctly, blows my mind every time. If you haven’t had the chance to work with REDIS you should give it a try, here is a AWESOME interactive demo http://try.redis.io/
