Redis is an in-memory data store. It’s predominantly a key/value store, so it does not have features in many relational databases. It can be used as a simple database, a cache, or as a pub/sub system. Since it’s all in-memory, it is very fast, but it also requires alot of memory. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform all provide their own managed Redis services. The available versions and features vary from provider to provider.

Regardless of anyone's personal experience with 2019, one thing is for sure regarding this little corner of the internet: the Ivanti blog totally slayed.

AWS Lambda has become the most widely used deployment pattern for serverless applications. It allows developers to set aside worrying about server provisioning, maintenance, idle capacity management and scaling, and instead to focus solely on writing business logic. But that’s not entirely true. Because while Lambda is a self-managed AWS service, it still requires careful design to get the best performance out of the computation capabilities it provides.
