Hands-On Redis

Abstract

Redis is a freely available software, in-memory data structure store, utilized as database, cache, and message agent. There is no official support for Windows builds; however, Microsoft develops and keeps up a Win-64 port of Redis. Redis is a key–value database. It is a solution for building elite and adaptable web applications. Not like a relational database, this is constituted of tables that incorporate columns of data definitions and rows of data, and a key–value database that stores value, each of which might be referenced by a unique key. Redis has integrated replication, LRU eviction, transactions, Lua scripting, and distinct levels of on-disk persistence, and it gives high accessibility through Redis Sentinel and automatic segregation with Redis Cluster. Redis is a multiutility tool and may be utilized in some of use cases like messaging queues, caching, any short-lived data in application, for example, web page hit counts, web application sessions.
