About this course

Redis introduces Redis and walks you through examples that demonstrate how to use it effectively. You’ll begin by getting Redis set up properly and then exploring the key-value model. Then, you’ll dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You’ll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets. Experienced developers will appreciate lessons on clustering and internal scripting to make Redis easier to use.

Skills acquired & topics covered

  • Redis: expanding on the key-value pattern by accepting a wide variety of data types, including hashes, strings, lists, and other structures
  • Redis: it provides lightning-fast operations on in-memory datasets, and also makes it easy to persist to disk on the fly. Plus, it’s free and open source.
  • Redis from the ground up
  • Preprocessing real-time data
  • Managing in-memory datasets
  • Pub/sub and configuration
  • Persisting to disk
