Redis should solve data management... right?

Recently, DEV.to has partnered with Redis to run a hackathon.

Although I would love to, I needed to focus more on my studies and would definitely have not enough time to learn a new "language" in just a few days.

So,

After the Redis hackathon was over, I started to research what Redis actually is. Turns out, Redis is actually a local memory storage thing! Yeah! The thing I was looking for. It stores data just like a database, but localized. However, unlike other DB's (I think), you are able to store hashes so passwords from your app can be safely stored in a localized PC.

However,

I am wondering if Redis or more popular Mongo DB or MySQL is better. Redis seems a lot more easier to use though. So let me know your thoughts!

I mean, I dunno? I've never used Apache and my storage is full, so like, I'll just stick with Python for now :|
