What are you using in Erlang to talk to Redis? I'm a big fan of http://github.com/mattsta/er (probably because it's mine).

We're using http://github.com/cstar/erldis . It's a very thin wrapper over the raw commands and does what I want well (well after we hunted down a weird bug in response handling under load, but that's a separate story)

I started out there too, but it felt like there was always just one more bug to fix and then everything would be okay. After half a dozen "one more" bugs, I scraped it and started over.

I've been using my redis client in production for a few months with no problems. If you find yourself getting stuck with erldis, give it a try.

yeah, it was a bit choppy at first, but it has been smooth sailing for the last several months. Overall, it's pretty solid in production
