The biggest difference between redis Cache Technology and memcache Technology

1. What is redis?
Redis is a key-value storage system. Similar to memcached, memcached supports more storage value types, including string, list, set, and zset ). These data types support push/pop, Add/Remove, Intersection Set and difference set, and more abundant operations, and these operations are atomic. On this basis, redis supports sorting in different ways. Like memcached, data is cached in the memory to ensure efficiency. The difference is that redis periodically writes the updated data to the disk or writes the modification operation to the append record file, and on this basis implements master-slave (master-slave) synchronization.
2. What is the performance?
Redis is a high-performance Key-value memory database. Official Performance Test Results: Set operations are performed 110000 times per second, and get operations are performed 81000 times per second.
3. Can I store objects?
Similar to memcached, memcached supports more storage value types, including string, list, set, and zset ). These data types support push/pop, Add/Remove, intersection union and difference sets, and richer operations.

Replication (tree)
Data Types (string, lists, sorted sets, hashes) persistence (snapshot, aof)
Many developers believe that redis cannot be faster than memcached. memcached is fully memory-based, while redis has the persistence storage feature. Even asynchronous redis cannot be faster than memcached. However, the test result is basically the absolute advantage of redis. I have been thinking about this reason. The reasons for this are as follows.
Libevent. Unlike memcached, redis does not select libevent. In order to cater to the versatility, libevent causes huge code (currently redis code is less than 1/3 of libevent) and sacrifices a lot of performance on specific platforms. Redis uses two files in libevent to modify its epoll event loop (4 ). Many developers in the industry also recommend redis
