### What we like

Super simple k/v store API for JS. Defaults to in-memory with no dependencies, but has adapters for Redis, Mongo, SQLite, Postgres, MySQL. Handles all JSON types (supports custom serialization) with a Promise-based API. Supports TTLs and namespaces. Open source. Plugins for extra functionality e.g. memoize a function.

### Tradeoffs

Limited to set, get, has, delete and clear functions. If you want more sophisticated options e.g. increment or setting fields on a hash, you’ll need to use something else e.g. Redis.
