Summary

Cube is transitioning from using Redis for queue and in-memory cache management to its proprietary Cube Store, aiming to enhance performance, scalability, and simplicity in its data applications. Although Redis has been effective, Cube's growing use cases and performance demands necessitate a more specialized solution. Cube Store will replicate Redis' functionality with improvements such as single atomic domain-specific instructions to reduce clashes and binary data storage for efficiency. This migration, set to be completed by mid-2023, promises better throughput and aligns with Cube's mission of providing consistent, secure, and performant data handling. Users can expect seamless integration as Cube Store will utilize the same SQL protocol as the current pre-aggregation management.
