Podman has some serious issues they are not really fixing, we ran into an issue where builds just hang for a few minutes before doing anything. So we had to switch back to using docker desktop locally for that.
And we wonder why everything is so unbearably boring & bland...
That comparison is quite the stretch imo, this feels more like copying homework. And if we are honest about what is being sold here: normalization of stealing other peoples work with AI and pretending you are a smarter, better person for it.
Spot on! It was for a decently sized SaaS app; 10k+ request per minute & and a LOT of spam traffic from china a.o. we needed to limit. The app ran across 10+ servers, this is also why we put it in the app using redis and not with something like nginx rate limiting.
I don't exactly remember how i implemented it, but it basically did a single call to redis to count the request for the IP and check the limits.
Another usecase where the more advanced data types & operations of redis are usefull, is for job queues, since you can atomically move a job from the 'queue' to the 'processing' list, thus preventing loosing jobs if the processor crashes after pulling it orso. But we do run all those on persisted redis stores, for safety :)
And if i would do it all again, i'd probably just use postgres for anything i want to keep when things crash. Redis just kinda lives between a 'real' database and a pure volatile kv-cache
look, i'm sure there is something actually interesting here, but it is unreadble ai slop. And it looses all value immediately for me, i can't trust a single word of this post as it can all be hallucinated. This is the problem with AI, it takes a valuable idea and makes it into noise.
It's like 80-100X more expensive if my calculations are correct.
Anyone surprised by this switch and bait tactic: i've been informed this is 'really smart marketing'. I haven't asked what they consider giving crack to children, but i have an idea..
I'm always a bit surprised by how much hate fancy, over-engineered products get on here. If you think it is overpriced, don't buy it. Buy the better budget option and let the 'stupid rich idiots' piss away their money on stuff like this.
I just don't get it. Always the negativity.
And if it's all so bad, why not link us to a better product? Why just bitch? Seems like some weird form of jealousy?
