Confused about choice of Redis vs ActiveRecord #658
-
|
I want to make sure I'm making an informed choice when choosing a storage mechanism for Flipper. I have Redis and Postgres in my application stack, so both Redis and ActiveRecord are options for me. What are the pros/cons of these options? My guess is that Redis is more performant but doesn't guarantee persistence as well? Is there a reason for choosing one over the other for a product in production? |

It's really just personal preference or project preference. Maybe a project doesn't have redis but has active record or vice versa. There isn't really a performance difference unless your setup has a beefier redis or postgres instance or faster networking to one of those. If you have both, I'd go with active record/postgres. Someday if that isn't performant enough you can always put active support (or memcache or redis) cache in front. |
