Also HTTP caching. It's always funny to me why people, not you in particular, reach for Redis when they don't even use HTTP caching.

They didn't build their APIs with an understanding of HTTP verbs (ala RESTful). Mistakes such as POST with a query in body to search for X.

POST with a query as payload is not a problem if the search is a resource.
