Overview of this book

<p>With new data stores making their way onto the market, it's necessary for businesses to understand the features and techniques to use data stores most effectively. Redis Applied Design Patterns is designed to guide you into the world of Redis and will help you understand how business problems can be solved using Redis in your application stack.</p> <p>This book introduces you to the NoSQL way of thinking and how it is different from SQL. It helps you understand various functionality of Redis through a series of use cases designed for you to learn the more complex and less well-known features of Redis in an incremental way. By the time you've read this book, you will be capable of designing a system using Redis. This book will guide you through various use cases along with code samples, easy-to-understand diagrams, and tips to help you take advantage of Redis. The book explains the benefits of adding Redis to the application stack and discusses various practical use cases for Redis such as the caching system, commenting system, and social networking.</p>

Summary


All these data types make Redis unique and make it stand out from other NoSQL solutions. These basic types can be used to create more complex data structures by embedding or referencing the key names from other values. For example, we can create a sorted set, which contains the key name of hashes as reference. When designing the application using Redis, more than relational systems, we need to make more effort in designing the schema. In the next chapter, we will see how to use some of these data types to build a caching server using Redis.
