A recent hacker-news argues: “Redis is fast — I’ll cache in Postgres.” The author benchmarks a simple API and concludes that although Redis is faster, Postgres is “fast enough,” and removing another component can be worth it for many projects.(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45380699)

I agree with two things:

- Postgres is an excellent, reliable database.

- Fewer moving parts is a win—when the workload fits.

But there’s a third path that many teams overlook: a Redis-compatible database that is durable by default. That’s what we built with EloqKV—Redis protocol + redo log, multi-writer, transactions, persistence, durability, store procedure—so you get database + cache in one engine.

Any thoughts?
