Kyoto Tycoon vs Redis: What are the differences?
Developers describe Kyoto Tycoon as "A handy cache/storage server". Kyoto Tycoon is a lightweight database server with auto expiration mechanism, which is useful to handle cache data and persistent data of various applications. Kyoto Tycoon is also a package of network interface to the DBM called Kyoto Cabinet. 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. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.
Kyoto Tycoon belongs to "Databases" category of the tech stack, while Redis can be primarily classified under "In-Memory Databases".
Redis is an open source tool with 37.1K GitHub stars and 14.3K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Redis's open source repository on GitHub.
