title: Node-Cache vs Redis for Simple Caching
body: <p>I am planning to use a cache in my Node.js application just to avoid a database read operation. It is only some small amount of data (instead of reading same data from database every time) . I am planning to have a local cache in each server. 
  Should I go for Node Cache (<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cache" rel="noreferrer">https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cache</a>) or Redis ?</p>
  
  <p>Which will be faster and efficient ?</p>
