I think that sums it up pretty well. The description of redis at https://redis.io/ is "Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker.". Without knowing anything about the application that you want to build, I personally wouldn't have good feeling to use Redis, that's defined as an "in-memory data structure" as the primary database for it - compared to a NoSQL database like MongoDB or a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. I've been using Redis in projects as a cache (similar to memcached) besides the main database.
