About:
Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. It supports various data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, and sets. Its primary value proposition is delivering extremely low latency and high throughput for real-time applications.
Key Features:
  • In-memory data storage for sub-millisecond response times
  • Support for rich data structures (lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes)
  • Built-in replication and high availability with Redis Sentinel
  • Atomic operations and transactions
Use Cases:
  • Caching frequently accessed data to reduce database load
  • Real-time analytics and leaderboards
  • Session management and user authentication
  • Message queuing and pub/sub systems
Alternatives:
  • Memcached – Simpler caching daemon; Redis offers richer data types and persistence.
  • KeyDB – Multithreaded fork of Redis optimized for higher throughput.
