Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if ColdFusion2018 and REDIS (on Azure, or even another REDIS service) are currently viable?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark (tribule), did you ever get any further with assessment of Redis? And if you did, can you clarify if it was using Redis for sessions or Redis as an alternative distributed caching engine for CF caching?

Sorry, missed a reply to this one.

We were originally on Azure and so REDIS was a built-in option. We tried it again for 2 months, for sessions. No noticable performance gain was noted. It did cause a lot of reported errors, and none could be fixed, we just had to live with them. We eventually moved from Azure since its performance was poor and the costs of using it too complex, so we ended using REDIS at that point.

Viable, as in what? Do they work? Yes. Can cf2018 session vars in Redis be stored in an azure redis cache (or any other)? Yes. Do I mean I've done it? Yes. Can I confirm it's highly scalable? No I cannot, because that depends on so many variables, both in terms of your traffic volume and nature, what you store in the session vars, the cf config, and the configuration of the Redis store, its redundancy, etc.

But viable as in, does it work? Again, yes.

Thanks Charlie. Our ISP told us that there were some problems with REDIS for their customers, in that sessions were lost and that there were bugs, and Adobe could not find them or assist. We will give it a go and see anyway. We'd use it for login sessions and other data primarily (nothing complex). I just wanted to see if performance could be improved.

If you or they could share more info, that would be helpful. Sometimes problems like that have a more specific explanation, to counter the more generalized assertion.

Or I hope you'll let us know how it goes. :-)
