Pika is a persistent huge storage service , compatible with the vast majority of redis interfaces (details), including string, hash, list, zset, set and management interfaces. With the huge amount of data stored, redis may suffer for a capacity bottleneck, and pika was born for solving it. Except huge storage capacity, pika also support master-slave mode by slaveof command, including full and partial synchronization.
Can Redis handle an image-heavy forum?

I'd like to enable users to upload csv, pdf, and png files. Probably a lot of them over time. Will a Redis database be able to handle this? (I'm planning to set this up with AWS.) Thanks!

Sure, but it's not storing the binary contents of the files in the database, they get saved in a folder in your NodeBB directory under /public/uploads
-
yup, attachments are saved to your local and not redis. looking forward to a plugin that uploads to a CDN
-
That will be awesome!
-
Oh! So redis just points to the files but they're stored separately and don't need to be stored in memory?
Any tips for setting this up on AWS? Thanks!

@aaron there's now a S3 plugin for NodeBB uploads, I developed it whilst working at Kano.

Sweet, thanks.
