  1. 1
    Redis is an open source in-memory data structure project implementing a distributed, in-memory key-value database with optional durability.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    It's 2021 and we have extremely fast key-value lookups using LevelDB/RocksDB, but we're still using RAM-based caching tools [1] [2] [3].

For ex: SSDB [4] [1] https://redis.io/ [2] https://memcached.org/ [3] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29532552 [4] https://github.com/ideawu/ssdb#ssdb-vs-redis.
