Question for leader: Why credis and not predis? #167

Why credis and not predis?

danhunsaker commented 10 years ago

Easy. Predis is huge (file size and memory footprint, not just popularity), and Credis is considerably smaller/simpler. We don't need the extra features, so we don't bother.

A future version will probably let you select which engine you want to use, if you prefer one over the other, but Credis is a sane default for what we're doing here.

antonrubtsov commented 10 years ago

Thanks. I've got it. It will be great ability to choose the engine. I'm using all redis features in project.

danhunsaker commented 10 years ago

To be clear, Credis supports all of the features of Redis. It's the extra features of Predis that we don't need.
