redis vs memcached for caching, which is best for my use case

hey everyone im trying to decide on a caching strategy for a new project we expect a good amount of read traffic but writes wont be as frequent both redis and memcached seem like solid options for in-memory caching ive read about redis data structure support and persistence while memcached is often praised for its simplicity and raw speed for a readheavy application with occasional writes which of these two would you lean towards and why are there specific scenarios where one clearly outperforms the other even if the use case sounds straightforward
