Redis – Getting Started

You Need:

• Linux or Mac machine
• Docker installed & running
• Terminal Application
• Or simply use the Google Cloud Shell (free!)

1 – Run Redis with Interactive Shell

git clone https://github.com/u1i/redis-getting-started

cd redis-getting-started

./run-redis.sh

2 – Get & Set Values

Set a Key

set student kelly

OK

Get the Value of that Key

get student

"kelly"

3 – Working with Lists

Add a value to the 'queue'

lpush message_queue hello

Add one more

lpush message_queue "hello again"

Retrieve the 'oldest' value in the 'queue'

rpop message_queue

"hello"

Now when we do that again....

rpop message_queue

"hello again"

And one more time:

rpop message_queue

(nil)

4 – Working with Increments

incr queue_number

(integer) 1

incr queue_number

(integer) 2
