GeorgeForeman1 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 This is not a troll post I promise. I ask why it was chosen as a backend storage system? Most web hosts do not natively support it, there are not "production-ready" management or backup tools available for it, as its primarily a data structure server and not a database in the traditional sense. Mysql, is supported everywhere PHP is, it has so many tools to manage and backup databases, surely it would make sense. Redis is fast but how many records are you going be storing, a few 1000 at most, Mysql would laugh at that! Uebermorgen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matijs Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Im liking redis more then MySQL, there are many tools for it, just do a little searching. This is ons of the things I like more about epoch a3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 It's lightweight, stable, reliable and does the job :) It's grown on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Redis has already proven itself for performance. At this stage it's all about what is the quickest and most suited to supporting the mod. MySQL is great for websites and other DB based tools, it doesn't offer the features that redis does and is no where near as suited. Redis is just a bit less heard of right now, MySQL was unheard of once upon a time :) Native support ? If you run a dedi is just a case of running an exe, if you're not running a dedi go for a gaming host that support Epoch Mod. As for reconsidering, not likely to happen.

axeman Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just from chatting to Awol, one of the features is the ability to quickly query for a single bit of data and the structure isn't exactly standard tables etc. TBH I am on a steep learning curve with it. However, you can see how this feature would be useful for quickly storing and returning a specific game vehicle status..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you can see how this feature would be useful for quickly storing and returning a specific game vehicle status..? I will admit, i have had many years of experiance with mysql and nosql solutions. Problem is, non of the nosql have the rich feature set mysql offers. Everything that is possible in redis, is possible in mysql too. Even a loose data schema is something that can be done (which is good prototyping). Although, I would argue, given arma's unstable nature, a data schema that can change is a potentially bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 From my experience so far, better performance, migrating requires copying a single file and running requires starting an exe. Writing external tools for it, am glad to be learning a new skill. How many of those nosql missing features do you think we need to give a game server persistence ? How many cant be replicated with a bit of development time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havoc302 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah bring back SQL, far easier to work with and a lot more tools available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prone Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Stop relying on your host to backup the data for you. A quick FTP script and a windows scheduler, and you have offsite backups on your machine with whatever interval you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
