I built a redis adapter for gun so that I can use redis as a backing store for gun AND as a reliable memory cache for content delivery.
I’m now avoiding using gun in the ui for anything non-essential (writes, chat and infinite scroll for now) to reduce load and leaning on redis almost entirely for content delivery.
With this I think my site can handle quite a bit of traffic now but haven’t given it a good stress test yet.
Being all HTML5/Single page react is going to help me scale it, not hinder me there with the way I have things planned.
But I do hope to get in server side rendering soon as well and the redis setup makes that easier as well.
tl;dr all hail redis!
Okay I actually understood about 10% of that. You are way out of my league lol. I have learned a lot since starting this but I have 1000 miles to go.
