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.
