I have to disagree here.<p>&quot;fancy names == people think bulletproof&quot; is not a credible criticism.<p>Now &quot;Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control&quot; is a fancy name!!!  Pretty sure no-one with a clue thinks a product named like that is bulletproof, and its probably got significant logic&#x2F;nodes etc<p>I apparently have the opposite experience to you.  I&#x27;ll often find complex distributed systems that are painful to troubleshoot when they misbehave, and find it refreshing on the other hand when someone is just using Redis, because typically THAT system is working a lot more predictable.<p>If people are too inexperienced to realize that ALL systems have tradeoffs, and not read up on what those are (because apparenly the name is fancy) then they&#x27;ll get burned.  Antirez does a pretty good job of explaining and documenting where he sees Redis limits to be.<p>Arguing that everyone should be home-baking their own failovers until of learning the limits of well-known ones our there doesn&#x27;t seem like responsible advice.
