I wonder how this compares to using redis for key value caching purposes?

Definitely reduces the need for another dependency if that’s your thing and it fits your needs

I'm working on comparisons between redis and SQLite for object caching. So far things look favorable.

I did this project for WordPress, because object caching helps performance (and therefore carbon footprint) a lot and cheezy hosting services don't offer redis. But most of them have SQLite.

Oddly enough, SQLite is really slow on the one BSD hosting service I've tried.

Why use redis at all if you don't need shared cache?
