What is Redis?
Redis (REmote DIctionary Server) is an open-source, in-memory data structure
store that is widely used as a database, cache, and message broker. It is known
for its high performance, flexibility, and support for a variety of data types.
Key Features
In-Memory Storage:
Redis stores all data in memory, which allows for extremely fast read and
write operations, making it suitable for applications requiring low-latency
data access.
Data Structures:
Redis supports various data types, including:
Strings
Lists
Sets
Sorted Sets
Hashes
Bitmaps
HyperLogLogs
Geospatial indexes
Persistence Options:
Redis Resources 1
Although Redis is primarily an in-memory database, it offers options for
data persistence:
RDB (Redis Database Backup): Periodically saves snapshots of the
dataset to disk.
AOF (Append-Only File): Logs every write operation received by the
server, which can be replayed to reconstruct the dataset.
High Availability:
Redis supports replication, allowing data to be copied to multiple Redis
instances. This can be used for load balancing and failover.
Redis Sentinel provides monitoring and automatic failover capabilities.
Clustering:
Redis can be configured in a clustered mode, allowing data to be
distributed across multiple nodes, enhancing scalability.
Pub/Sub Messaging:
Redis supports a publish/subscribe messaging paradigm, allowing clients
to subscribe to channels and receive messages in real time.
Atomic Operations:
Redis provides atomic operations on data structures, ensuring data
integrity during concurrent access.
Lightweight:
Redis has a minimal memory footprint and is designed to efficiently use
resources.
Use cases
Caching: Redis is commonly used as a caching layer to speed up data
retrieval for frequently accessed data.
Session Store: It can store user session information in web applications.
Real-time Analytics: Redis is suitable for applications that require real-time
analytics and data processing.

Job Queues: With its reliable data structures, Redis can be used to manage
job queues and task scheduling.
Leaderboards: The sorted set data structure makes Redis ideal for
implementing leaderboard systems.
