The awesome thing about Redis is that it's less a "cache" and more a set of fast network-shared, generic data structures. To have that then also be transactional and durable would be really handy sometimes.

Exactly. It's a distributed list, map, etc that is often used as a cache, and sometimes as a queue, but it's bigger than all that.

"sometimes as a queue"

Oh? I'd be interested in hearing more about that. Is this common?
