> True. However, since cache is usually transient, adding this key-value store/cache is as easy as "docker run redis". No need to provision block storage, and it's really lightweight in comparison.

If you're using postgres for caching only, as you do Redis, then you also do not need to provision block storage.

If you happen to already have Postgres running for other uses, you also do not need to provision block storage.

Finally, I would add that Redis clients such as Redisson are resource hogs that cause performance problems on apps, while pg clients are barely noticeable.
