MongoDB vs Redis
MongoDB started first, in 2009, the same year as Redis.
Why MongoDB lasted
- Document as default was a real relief from ORMs, and Atlas made it a business.
- The driver experience and the JSON-shaped brain still match how a lot of apps think.
Why Redis lasted
- If you need a cache, a queue, or a counter, you reach for it without a meeting.
- The data structures are the product. Everything else is a license argument.
