The comparison is meant to be functional - not technical. Most people use Redis as a low-latency key-value store either for write-heavy uses, short-term storage or as a cache. SpaceBase is, indeed, not a key-value store, but it can now serve the same purpose Redis does, namely, a low-latency, write-heavy data-store, only for spatial indexing rather than key indexing. I think I've made an apt, fair analogy.
