it scales down to small applications beautifully
This is worth highlighting. In Rails, for example, the integration for Redis is seven lines of code (they're in my last blog post), and then the Rails cache you know and love is suddenly magic. It requires no significant amount of developer resources to integrate, minimal sysadmin skills to get running, and coexists beautiful with whatever you use for data persistence right now. In all of these respects it is a lot like memcached. (Or like memcachedb except without the periodic disk flush that gives your users 5 second response times.)
