Comment on: Shopify replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations–and it scaled
Does Redis become that slow when you enable both AOF and RDB? Sure, there's a write cost, but it doesn't lose its ability to maintain tens of thousands of connections. Redis supports AOF and lets you choose the fsync policy.But I think using only MySQL is unnecessarily expensive, just to get single transaction tracking for bug tracing. So the article's argument seems to be:'Use only MySQL as a solution to the distributed transaction consistency problem between two different storage systems, Redis and MySQL!'But I think using Redis is much more elegant. It's easier to scale. I'd even argue that
