What is a cache vs a database? You can use mysql as a cache. Most people would call it a database. Really this article is dumb. I think almost never would you need to choose redis vs mongo. Redis is a weird and hard to describe product. For example you can use it as a queue over rabbitmq with celery. Or a cache with all kinds of things. But it does more. And an empty instance runs in like 3mb of ram and handles thous…
A database is ACID, and here is a good analysis: https://dzone.com/articles/how-acid-mongodb

#15At my last company, we used redis both for celery as a queue, and a cache for values we needed to call often and retrieve quickly. We ALSO used Mongo, but moreso as a store for larger documents that were called less frequently. I think it's not fair to compare them directly together, they are each useful in their own specific cases.
Mongo has a document size limit of 16MB, so 'larger documents' need to be qualified :).

I strongly disagree, NoSQL databases are almost never ACID but they are almost always a database in how the term is used.

You can store data in it sure.
You can store data in text files too.

Redis is great when used as a persistent cache for short-lived + no value data, or data that can be reproduced from another source. If your data, or queued items, have value then find a better tool.
But if you're foolish enough to use it as a database... lol.
