Hi Tosin,
Thank you for the question.

I don’t see much advantage over WP Redis or Redis Object cache plugin unless you have a large site and you are using a cloud for WP with multiple servers/proxy etc. For single server setup, these twoi have comparable features with the specified plugin.

Unless you have reached a certain number of daily active users(at least couple of thousands), I don’t see caching becoming any bottleneck. almost, all of the caching solution will work fine.

Hi Tosin,
Here is my suggestion from experiences with some of our clients. As a community creator, initially you should not worry about cloud infrastructure and should be spending more time in growing your community.

You can keep vertically scaling your servers for the initial time period(storage, memory, cpu etc). When that starts becoming a bottleneck or you feel you have enough number of users to merit further scaling, you will have better results with horizontal scaling.

Of course, I will suggest to offload the media(if you are using videos/photos etc) irrespective of the current state of your community growth.
