I'm amazed that some people still do services without using memcached or similar. It's not very difficult, and brings enormous benefits.

So, why not?

They used Redis. Which I would say is pretty similar to memcached.

I thought so too, but that means the slide title is wrong, they're not doing that much traffic without a cache.

They're using Redis as a primary store rather than a cache.

Redis is like memcached on steroids.
