You don't need Redis if you learn the BEAM and OTP. Elixir runs on top of a distributed VM with builtin clustering. Use it.
And I see nothing wrong with having the BEAM run in Docker or K8s. There's some overlap in concepts, but they work at totally different layers. Using the BEAM is like having resilient microservices _inside_ your app with none of the downsides.
