I’m curious to know if you’re using Redis in your apps, and if so, for what? I’m currently using it for:

- Password reset tokens
- ‘Meta’ sessions (restricting users to one session at a time for a certain app)
- Alerts based on longpoll / websockets using Node and pub/sub
- Message and work queues
- Caching gravatars (base64) to load pages faster
- Tons of other stuff

I found and contributed to codeigniter-redis which was a lot easier than trying to hammer Predis into CI.

If you’re using Redis .. what problem did it solve for you? I’m planning on writing some sample code to go with my fork of the library, but I’d like to make the samples practical and useful, even if just as a starting point.

I used the same library that you mentioned to create a system to identify success on “buy now” button styles.

Essentially it finds out which “buy now” button is most popular and provides that to the end user 90% of the time.
