Not sure why you were downvoted, but perhaps they were thinking about Redis transactions (lua scripts that can do multiple operations at once). If Redis is your datastore (groan), then you can transactionally enqueue tasks with your unit of work.

If Redis is your primary datastore then sure. But the problem domain for which "Redis is your primary datastore" is appropriate is relatively narrow.

Real time trading systems can totally get away with only using Redis, outside of historical data (which obviously you'd stick into Postgres or your favorite flavor of DB)
