Build an Elixir Redis Server that’s faster than HTTP
If the idea is to leverage the Redis protocol for an “API”, what are the benefits to this approach over using the built-in `pub-sub` and the regular old C implementation of Redis Server?<p>I could maybe see some really specific use-cases for this but for probably 90% of cases implementing a distributed process API should be able to go over pubsub fine shouldn’t it? Or does pubsub have some sort of massive overhead?<p>EDIT: Just because it’s tangential to the topic at hand, and since I’m up here at the top, I also wanna throw out a nod to libraries like `nng` and `nanomsg` which are spiritual successors to ZeroMQ and they have functionality like brokerless RPC&#x2F;pubsub built in as messaging models. I don’t see tools like this talked about a lot in this space cuz systems software isn’t the sexiest but if you need to embed a small and lightweight messaging endpoint in your backend stuff then look at those as well. No horse in the race, just like sharing useful tools with people.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nng.nanomsg.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nng.nanomsg.org</a>
