Redis

Redis is an open source in-memory data structure project implementing a distributed, in-memory key-value database with optional durability.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Need for strong data consistency If companies are building mission-critical applications where data consistency is a must, then Redis is not likely the right choice. Redis has not passed the Jepsen test for strong consistency (whereas Aerospike has). Redis supports eventual consistency, which can result in stale reads and even data loss under certain circumstances. Redis has released a WAIT command, which is most closely associated with consistency, yet Redis documentation acknowledges that WAIT does not make Redis a strongly consistent store. For financial services companies or e-commerce companies where payments are involved, the eventual consistency approach implemented through the WAIT command is not appropriate.
