Memcached currently provides a significant performance boost to requests made, but doesn't do much more. With Redis, we'd be able to not just make queries about specific keys, but queries about which keys are present, which would help enable #3. Furthermore, it could act as a signal/slots mechanism for listening services, such that we could visualise relevant aspect of production over time to aid in benchmarking, archiving and overall optimisation.
Goal
Extended support for localisation, statistics and events.
