I'm always a little dubious about any service whose comparison page is "we do everything! others do nothing!" like that. Anyone got any direct experience with them?
Yep! My company evaluated their service, briefly. We asked how they perform on redis-benchmark. They provided no numbers and said "We have a way to stop users who generate benchmark traffic on our service."
We tried running the actual Redis-using process of our application on their free tier. The server went down.
Dear rspeer - we regret learning of your negative experience with our service. We do find it somewhat puzzling that you never reached out to us for assistance after your instance had crashed - we have thousands of active users and each incident is dealt with utmost professionalism regardless the plan type. If you wish, we invite you try our service again and contact us at support@garantiadata.com with any question or issue.
Sorry for the lack of follow-up, but there's a reason we were just evaluating. Nothing was forcing us to use redis-cloud in particular.
In fact, nothing was forcing us to use any sort of Redis in the cloud, which is good, because my conclusion is that nobody has a satisfactory solution for it. It's not just your service. It's not just Amazon either. Nobody has figured out Redis in the cloud.
Redis is designed to be a high-performance, in-memory data store. All "Redis in the cloud" offerings turn it into a low-performance data store that feels more like a database, and that defeats the point.
If you figure it out, let me know... but I'll want to be able to run redis-benchmark.
