Comment on Reducing server load with Redis

Comments

IMHO this other use of Redis inside Crashlytics, doing heavy use of bitmaps, is more interesting:

Indeed... as presented before:

And the HN posts / comments:

And the Redis warning on setting large bitmaps (Re: split your bitmaps):

http://redis.io/commands/setbit

Note: I know I'm responding to someone who is probably already aware of this information, but the crashly slides are lite on the techniques technical side.

I totally agree, tracking using bitmaps is something where Redis really shines and it is relevant for nearly every site.
