https://redis.io/ is not just a cache. It is used in the broader cloud native ecosystem, fits into many service-oriented architectures, and simplifies the deployment and development of modern applications, according to https://github.com/madolson, a principal engineer at AWS, during an interview on the https://thenewstack.io/the-aws-open-source-strategy/ at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/. https://thenewstack.simplecast.com/episodes/redis-is-not-just-a-cache Olson said that people have a primary backend database or some other workflow that takes a long time to run.

So you basically take a bunch of different sources of data, maybe a Postgres database, or some other type of Cassandra database, and you project that data into Redis.

Redis creator http://invece.org/ approach provides a lesson in how to contribute to open source, which Olson recounted in our interview.
