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. This formula provides a persistent key-value database with a built-in network interface for high performance and low latency access.
Key Features:
  • In-memory data storage for extreme speed
  • Support for rich data structures (lists, sets, hashes)
  • Built-in replication and persistence
  • Lua scripting capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Caching database queries to accelerate web applications
  • Real-time analytics and leaderboards
  • Message queueing for background job processing
Alternatives:
  • Memcached – Simpler caching daemon without Redis's rich data types or persistence
  • PostgreSQL – Relational database better suited for complex queries rather than high-speed key-value access
