Objective
Redis is an in memory key-value datastore which can organize data as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs. Being In-memory makes it in ideal candidate for high load, low latency messages.
The main use cases of the driver are listed below:
1. High-throughput (2K+ messages/sec per queue)
2. Lots of small messages (<= 1K)
3. Messages are short-lived (minutes, not hours)
4. High durability is optional (2 copies, RAM only)
5. HA is still very important
