Redis Runs the Entire Website

one industry that knows how to build high- performance websites like nobody else they had it figured out 12 years ago: Redis as primary DB Youporn.com is now a 100% Redis Site 162,517 views Eric Pickup to Redis DB 2/15/12 I just want to let the devs know that Youporn.com relaunched two weeks ago with Redis as our primary database. With @100 million page views per day, our cluster of Redis slaves are handling over 300k queries per second. After the switchover we had to add some additional Redis nodes but not because Redis was overworked but because the network cards couldn't keep up with Redis. Everyone involved has been more than impressed with Redis' performance. All reads come from Redis; we are maintaining MySQL just to allow us to build new sorted sets as our requirement change

A social-media post shows a screenshot claiming that YouPorn runs entirely on Redis, with Redis slaves handling enormous traffic. The joke is the absurdly impressive use of a database associated with caching and fast reads, applied as the primary database for a high-traffic adult website. It is used as a reaction to systems that perform surprisingly well under extreme workloads.
