For caching why do we use memcached over redis?

Does one have any advantage over the other?

Hi @Sandeep_Joel,
Redis and Memcached are both fast in-memory stores and can be used interchangeably for small data like tweets. Both have their own advantages. For the scenario present in this lesson it is just a matter of personal choice.
