Redis is an exciting NoSQL offering. It allows you to decide if you want the blazingly fast response times of a pure in-memory caching solution or if you want to go slightly slower and have the assurance of the cache being persisted in case of failure. It offers a wide array of storage and retrieval options in addition to the key/value method standard to many NoSQL products. In this session we’ll look into the depths of Redis. We’ll go through its binary access methods, different serialization options it allows, and a large proportion of its commands. Finally we’ll wrap up with some benchmarking exercises and use case discussions. If you’ve wondered what Redis can do, this is the talk for you.
