"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources.""There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis.""Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.""The only thing is the lack of a GUI application.

    Overview

    Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. Message brokers allow different software systems–often using different programming languages, and on different platforms–to communicate and exchange information. Amazon MQ reduces your operational load by managing the provisioning, setup, and maintenance of ActiveMQ, a popular open-source message broker. Connecting your current applications to Amazon MQ is easy because it uses industry-standard APIs and protocols for messaging, including JMS, NMS, AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket. Using standards means that in most cases, there’s no need to rewrite any messaging code when you migrate to AWS.

    Redis is a high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-use caching solution that improves application performance. It is also used for session management, real-time analytics, and as a message broker. 

    Redis's valuable features include its ability to handle large amounts of data quickly, its simplicity and straightforward setup process, and its support for various data structures, providing flexibility for different use cases.
