MongoDB vs Redis
A side by side look at reach, regional footprint and where each databases technology actually wins, built from live detections across millions of websites.
The short version. Redis has roughly 64x more sites overall (412 vs 26.2K). But the split flips by market: MongoDB over-indexes in United Kingdom, Canada and Belgium, while Redis runs the majority in Viet Nam, Netherlands and Poland. Which one fits depends far more on your market than on raw totals.
