Breaking Up with Redis [eng]

Today, Redis is the de facto standard for caching in application services. It’s incredibly fast and easy to use, giving it a significant advantage in the market. However, as system complexity grows, Redis has several limitations that affect the reliability and availability of your system, especially under high load.

In 2025, we are gradually moving away from Redis and rethinking the caching approach as a whole. In this talk, I will share my perspective on the problem and possible solutions. We will explore the challenges associated with Redis and look at alternative solutions for building more resilient and scalable systems.
