Redis 4.x Cookbook

Redis 4.x Cookbook

Overview of this book

Redis is considered the world's most popular key-value store database. Its versatility and the wide variety of use cases it enables have made it a popular choice of database for many enterprises. Based on the latest version of Redis, this book provides both step-by-step recipes and relevant the background information required to utilize its features to the fullest. It covers everything from a basic understanding of Redis data types to advanced aspects of Redis high availability, clustering, administration, and troubleshooting. This book will be your great companion to master all aspects of Redis. The book starts off by installing and configuring Redis for you to get started with ease. Moving on, all the data types and features of Redis are introduced in detail. Next, you will learn how to develop applications with Redis in Java, Python, and the Spring Boot web framework. You will also learn replication tasks, which will help you to troubleshoot replication issues. Furthermore, you will learn the steps that need to be undertaken to ensure high availability on your cluster and during production deployment. Toward the end of the book, you will learn the topmost tasks that will help you to troubleshoot your ecosystem efficiently, along with extending Redis by using different modules.

Using the string data type

The string type is the most common and useful data type in programming languages and applications. It is also the fundamental data type of Redis, in which all keys must be strings. This recipe demonstrates the basic commands to manipulate strings in Redis.

Getting ready…

You need to finish the installation of the Redis Server, as we described in the Downloading and installing Redis recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Redis, and connect to the Redis Server by redis-cli.

How to do it...

To understand how to use the string data type, take the following steps:

Open a Terminal and connect to Redis with redis-cli.
To associate a string value to a key, use the SET command. In Relp, we can use the restaurant name as the key and its address as the value; for example, if we would like to set the address for the restaurant "Extreme Pizza":

127.0.0.1:6379> SET "Extreme Pizza" "300 Broadway, New York, NY" 
OK

String values can be retrieved by simply using the GET command:

127...
