Funny. My approach is usually the other way around: Can I get away with just Redis?

Hey I assume this is like a joke and not too serious, and we'd all switch off when things got a bit hairy, but I sure hope other readers can tell.

I am literally in the middle of digging a company out of this mistake (keeping Redis too long) right now. If your software/data is worth something, take a week or a month and figure out a reasonable schema, use an auto-generation tool, ORM, or hire a DB for a little bit to do something for you. Even MongoDB is better than redis if your're gonna do something like this.

Sorry but am I the only one who is very worried about the state of software? There are people who drank so much of the schemaless (which was not an actual issue for any dev worth her salt to begin with) that you have to dispense this kind of advice? I find that bordering on criminal if someone did that to you and carries the title programmer.

Again, maybe that is just me.

Edit: not an attack on the parent: good advice. Just didn't know it was that bad. And sad.
