Sorry, no. The complexity is that you are now relying on another server which can break in new ways, requires startup and shutdown and configuration and possibly load-balancing; management of all the above... updates, security reviews, and documentation. Will you need new server types with an emphasis on RAM? How many and when? How are you monitoring it for errors and performance?

That's the difference between thinking about it as a solution to a problem and thinking about it as part of your infrastructure.

True, but a lot of that can be solved with PaaS/DBaaS products like compose or something

Shame you got downvoted because it's a valid point.

These days most databases are available as a managed service and Redis in particular is a standard feature on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
