May be, but over 6 years of using Redis with bare minimum setup, I have never lost any data and my use case happens to be queuing intermediate results, so durability won't be an issue.

There's been 6 major releases and countless improvements on Redis since then, I don't think we can say whether it's still relevant.

Also, Antirez has always been very opinionated on not comparing or benchmarking Redis against other dbs for a decade.
