“Redis is cool tech, the best option when you need a fast cache.”, that summarizes my image of Redis until sometime ago when I truly started to research modern data platforms in connection to application modernization efforts.
These days I’m working at a client creating workflows for their state of the art private cloud platform. It’s really quite nice: internal clients can use a webportal to request machines, which are then customized with Puppet runs and workflows to install additional software and perform custom tasks like registering the machine in a CMDB.
