I was under the impression that Redis was intended for short-lived data, but a full text search suggests otherwise. Are people using Redis, with persisted storage, as their database?

Redis Cloud Pro can run in your VPC.
Great. How? Is that recommended? What kind of user rights I need to give redis to manage that instance in my vpc? How to lock that down to the minimum without breaking it? In that configuration, what risks do I have to control for otherwise? ...
All these details should be covered by https://docs.redislabs.com/5.2/rv/how-to/creating-aws-user-r...

#53Any advantages over Elasticsearch? EDIT: I did read the article, though I overlooked the link to comparison with Elasticsearch.
Did you even read the article? There's a link in there whith benchmarks it against elasticsearch. Read the conclusion on: https://redislabs.com/blog/search-benchmarking-redisearch-vs...
You mean (SHOCK!) that the company that sells Redis thinks their product is better than a competitor!? Color me shocked!
I'd like to see actual independent feature and performance comparisons before I come to any actual conclusions.

#54> Cluster Support and Commercial Version: RediSearch has a distributed cluster version that can scale to billions of documents and hundreds of servers. However, it is only available as part of Redis Labs Enterprise. This is a bummer because high availability is really important for many search uses cases. For e.g. think about e-commerce where search literally prints money. EDIT: it seems like the open source version…
Applications where software "literally prints money" are the best possible carve-out to require commercial licensing.

#55Good for them on building a business around redis.
That said, fuck paying for some bolt-on approximation of a search engine with no real durability. I'll use elastic or solr.
They're free, and have massive communities and user-bases. Issues are surfaced quickly. Compatibility is a priority. And all the other benefits of network effects.

Yes, in a strange way: I use Stream-Framework by GetStream (curiously moved away from it to GS today).
The backend storage for stream activities is Redis. It's lightweight and fast enough for most use cases.
Sure, not a full on database use case... But it is data that is persisted.

#57Any advantages over Elasticsearch? EDIT: I did read the article, though I overlooked the link to comparison with Elasticsearch.
One of the things I find so confusing with Elasticsearch is querying. Constructing a complex JSON document for a simple query just doesn't fit my brain. I have tried to put this down to bad/confusing documentation, but I'm not sure anymore. It seems Redis is moving a bit in the same direction - although not as complex as ES has done it. Being able to run this inside a Redis instance is a big win, although I suspect f…

Color me skeptical anytime a company benchmarks their product against the competition.

#59I think it's not terrible - redis itself is just brilant !
But wow a search-redis ? I think they have a lotttt of ground to make up to compete in the search space. The amount of options/analysis/tokenization/other-search features you get out the box from anything Lucene based (solr,elastic) is just staggering.

Presumably you're storing your data elsewhere and pumping it into Redis for search
