I use it for apps which don't need multiple backend nodes.

When i actually have something that requires multi nodes, i just use postgres (with replica) or mongo (with replica).

But it's for those apps which are in autoscaler.

For bulk data refresh I use build artifact and hotreload memort mapped files, by checking a manifest on object storage then only getting update if newer.

I've used this pattern everywhere and never really needed anything more, occasionally i might use redis if something required shared state across multiple nodes and fast.
