Redis vs SQLite

SQLite started first, in 2000, 9 years before Redis.

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.

Why SQLite lasted

  • It is in every phone, every browser, every airplane, and most 'we don't need a database' apps.
  • Public domain, single file, no server. There is nothing to cancel and almost nothing to break.
