We're also dependent on mysql, are you gonna implement that in Elixir as well? Redis is a great piece of software, and it's a real SHARED cache, so it could work for sessions or other small state management you sometimes want to remember for example. What you described won't work for that.

Both are not equal at all. Redis you can definitely do without. A database you can't skip in most apps.

Sessions work quite fine in Elixir's local cache as well. :)

This seems to suggest otherwise https://hex.pm/packages/redix, Why is the redis client is so popular in Elixir world? For such a small community 3+ million downloads is huge.

Hint: it's most likely habit.

It's no accident that there's even a library that emulates OOP patterns in Elixir.
