Comment on Ask HN: Is it feasible to use redis as the only datastore?

Comments

What do you mean by robust query capabilities? There are different types of values in redis, each with special operations, but you can't really query on the values. If you can model your data with hashes, simple values, and lists, then redis may suite you. I use it in conjunction with relational tools, but I can imagine using it solely for a simple project.

In my original title i had added for a small applicaiton but then i decided i was curious to see about using for something beyond just something simple. But you are right about the querying. I was thinking of it more in comparison to membase and memcache.
