[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 cache -> Redis

[Robert Wildling]

Thanks, Philipp, for your very helpful explanations!!

Any chance you could elaborate a bit on the security problem that would 
arise using both Redis and Varnish?

 From what I understand, Varnish is good for FE (only). But would Redis 
not also be a speed benefit for the BE?

On another site I read that for Redis phpRedis needs to be installed. So 
I assume a similar package would be needed for, let's say, MongoDB?

All the best,
Robert
