    SQLite - Is the goto DB for Mobile/Desktop Apps. Its not as elaborate as Mysql but since its a RDBMS it provides all the basic features and its lite. We use mysql at the backend and for desktop app we use SQLite

    We use MySQL because it's easy to set up and use.

    Chose MySQL
    MySQL holds its own in terms of SQL engine speed and storage capability, but database administration is where MySQL really shines. Other products that I've used offer little in terms of tuning or portability. Managing a MySQL database is relatively painless out of the box and …

    Chose MySQL
    Oracle is very mature and best in its class. However the cost is much higher. MySQL is a good alternative option.

    Easy to use for non relational schema and JSON format storage gives it an edge sometimes.

    Chose MySQL
    If you are looking for a relational database (depending on your app), MySQL is a good place to start. MongoDB and Cassandra are NoSQL options (very powerful). I am more inclined towards PostgreSQL as it's more scalable over time. MySQL was bought by Oracle and the community …

    Chose Redis Software
    We are big users of MySQL and PostgreSQL. We were looking at replacing our aging web page caching technology and found that we could do it in SQL, but there was a NoSQL movement happening at the time. We dabbled a bit in the NoSQL scene just to get an idea of what it was about …

    UI isn't that great compared to the other competitors.
    The management of our memcached cluster was becoming pretty complicated as the application grew in size. Redis is a much better option compared to memcached.

    We chose Redis over Memcached for the ease of use with our existing code base as well as the price.

    Chose Redis Software
    Every time you don't need a document DB, you can't go wrong with Redis over MongoDB.
    Google Cloud Pub/Sub may have solved one use case, but we'd still have to deploy Redis instances for other use cases, and adding another tech stack would only add complexity to our …

    Chose Redis Software
    As we perform a lot of deployments to AWS, we have the option of easily using a cache layer with either Memcache or Redis. We almost always choose Redis as it can solve more problems in production than Memcache in our experience. There is some overlap between what Redis can do …

    Chose Redis Software
    We chose Redis over Memcached and Couchbase for its performance, cost, support, and ease of use. Couchbase probably would have worked as well, but it seemed a bit overkill for our use cases.
