When to Use Redis Streams?
Redis Streams is more suitable when you need:
- Message persistence and history.
- The ability to read messages at your own pace, even if you weren’t connected when the messages were sent.
- Message acknowledgment and guaranteed delivery with consumer groups.
- Message streams with more structured data.
Pros:
- Message persistence and history.
- Supports complex stream processing scenarios.
- Enables exactly-once message processing through consumer groups.
- Allows consumers to read from the stream at their own pace.
Cons:
- Slightly more complex to set up compared to Pub/Sub.
- May be overkill for simple use cases where message persistence and ordering are not critical.
