Is Redis Queue Reliable

Reliable queues A queue is reliable if it can recover from a failure scenario. If a consumer crashes and the item it was processing is lost, the system is unreliable. A command was added to a previous version of Redis that is tailor-made for this exact situation.

How many queues can Redis handle?

Hi, What would be the maximum number of queues a redis instance can have per instance ? In FAQ(What is the maximum number of keys a single Redis instance can hold?), its mentioned – “Redis can handle up to 2^32 keys, and was tested in practice to handle at least 250 million of keys per instance.”

Is Redis a SQS?

With SQS, you can offload the administrative burden of operating and scaling a highly available messaging cluster, while paying a low price for only what you use. On the other hand, Redis is detailed as “An in-memory database that persists on disk“. Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value store.
