Re: Show HN: Real-Time Video Analytics with Redis

I used redis for something very similar once before and found that redis was a bottleneck on hd video unless the frames were compressed as JPEG. I came away feeling that it was an easy way to solve the problem but not very efficient.

You have an interesting handle, but regardless, I'd love to get more details

1080p means, uncompressed, each frame is about 6MB. That is a pretty large message size for redis and the throughput/latency of redis is known to go down.

It may just be a case that redis is not terribly optimized for.
