As German engineers are known to say: "Why make things simple when complicated will do?"

If you already have Postgres in your project and now you get the requirement for an additional cache store, I think it will be less complicated to reuse what you already have instead of adding another DB to your stack.

Of course, at some point of scaling needs a dedicated cache store will make sense anyway.

(Just some justifications from a german engineer :) )

True. However, since cache is usually transient, adding this key-value store/cache is as easy as "docker run redis". No need to provision block storage, and it's really lightweight in comparison.

(that being said, I try really hard not to judge; after all, i'm not without fault: it's 2021 and i'm using bash over cgi-bin to serve web pages for my own hobby projects :))) )
