That’s not been my experience.
replyUltimately though, regardless of whether you’re experience is true for the wider industry or not, if you’re letting a junior dev who refuses to read product documentation the responsibility of architecting production systems, then your problem isn’t Redis.
Sure, but that is an internal documentation failure not a redis failure. It feels incredibly unfair to blame redis for that.
replyNo one assumes memcached is persistent or Postgres isn't. Why does only Redis/Valkey have this problem?
replyBecause it can be both depending on the command line flags sent to it.
replyAlso, because it's so easy to setup, most DevOps/SREs/Ops just chuck into production without reading about which flags to set because we are not informed it's a requirement until 11th hour.
You're making inigyou & OP's point for them. Redis is a great technology, but its design (supporting both persistence and non-persistence modes) makes it much easier to misuse and much more likely to be misused compared to Postgres and Memcached. That's a design issue, not just an internal documentation issue.
