Special Characteristics |
Redis is ranked as world?s fastest database.
It reduces application complexity, simplifies development, accelerates time
to market and provides unprecedented flexibility to developers with its
visionary data structures and modules. |
MongoDB is considered as the next-generation
database. It successfully helped many businesses to transform their
industries by providing big data. The world?s most sophisticated
organizations, from cutting-edge startups to the largest companies, use MongoDB
to create applications never before possible, at a very low cost. |
|
Comparing Advantages |
Redis is an in-memory database platform
provides support of wide range of data structures such as strings, hashes,
sets, lists, sorted sets, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, and geospatial indexes.
Redis provides effortless scaling in a fully automated manner by overseeing
all the operations of sharding, re-sharding, migration. It also includes
persistence, instant automatic failure detection, backup and recovery, and
in-memory replication across racks, zones, datacenters, regions, and cloud
platforms. |
MongoDB provides the best of traditional
databases as well as flexibility, scale, and performance required by today?s
applications. MongoDB is a database of giant ideas. MongoDB keeps the most
valuable features of Relational database i.e. strong consistency, expressive
query language and secondary indexes. It facilitates developers to build
highly functional applications faster than NoSQL databases. |
