Can you elaborate why Redis has supplanted Memcached? Is it because Redis occupies a space in between Memcached and MemcacheDB? (in the sense of Redis can be both in-memory and/or persisted on disk?)

(Not that I care about starting the holy war of X vs Y, just out of curiosity why)

You have a point regarding your last statement. Perhaps I've been here far too long to notice more of the 10% and less on the 90% :)

... which is true ... last I read someone is making almost $1M revenue developing Windows desktop app in 2012 and another company is making $60k/monthly revenue developing BB apps using in-apps Ads. I think I'm going to sign-off on HN and go to the other side... :D :D :D



Redis is far more feature-ful, and can serve the purpose as memcache. Why have two parts when you only need one?

Redis offers persistence, set operations, namespacing, you can delete multiple entries with wildcards...
