In Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2020)
Redis pub/sub is simplistic and ephemeral. There's no persistence or really anything beyond sending some data to any listeners who may be active at that moment. Redis Streams now offers a capable persistent message stream solution and if/when Yugabyte supports that then it might be a good competitor. Otherwise Kafka/Pulsar offer much for persistent streams. There's also KeyDB which is a forked Redis that comes with multithreading and persistence to support larger-than-RAM workloads and active/active failover. https://github.com/JohnSully/KeyDB
In Apache Pulsar is an open-source distributed pub-sub messaging system
