> Even if the SQLite performance was significantly worse (like 2x worse) in the benchmark, it would still probably be faster in the "real world" because of network latency, even to a Redis that was in the same data center/region ... Why not run redis on localhost? |

As someone who was a relatively-early adopter of it on real servers and hand-managed VMs (i.e. we also controlled the hardware and host OS for the VMs) for a higher traffic site than most of the ones that think they need auto-scaling cloud shit from day one will ever reach, and was/is very enthusiastic about redis, I have exactly no idea why this is a popular way to use it. Cargo-culting and marketing (how else are you gonna sell it as a service?) are all I can figure as the motivations.
Connecting to it over a network is a handy feature for, like, ancillary things that need to connect to it remotely (maybe for reporting or something?) but as the main or only way of using it? Yeah I don’t get it, you’ve just wiped out a ton of its benefits.
