Does this compete with things like RedisTogo? (I understand it's just a key/value store and Redis provides a lot more, but many people use Redis for just that)
- they are both hosted services
- they both are key/value stores
In other ways no:
- IronCache has a REST API and supports memcached protocol
- IronCache only supports the basic functions of Redis, redistogo supports all of Redis because it actually is Redis.
- IronCache is elastic and scales with you, without any effort on your part. redistogo requires you to choose how much memory you want up front.
- Pricing is much different due to the point above too: IronCache charges by usage, redistogo charges based on the fixed amount of memory you choose.
