By: Luigi Fugaro, Mirko Ortensi

Overview of this book

In modern applications, efficiency in both operational and analytical aspects is paramount, demanding predictable performance across varied workloads. This book introduces you to Redis Stack, an extension of Redis and guides you through its broad data modeling capabilities. With practical examples of real-time queries and searches, you’ll explore Redis Stack’s new approach to providing a rich data modeling experience all within the same database server. You’ll learn how to model and search your data in the JSON and hash data types and work with features such as vector similarity search, which adds semantic search capabilities to your applications to search for similar texts, images, or audio files. The book also shows you how to use the probabilistic Bloom filters to efficiently resolve recurrent big data problems. As you uncover the strengths of Redis Stack as a data platform, you’ll explore use cases for managing database events and leveraging introduce stream processing features. Finally, you’ll see how Redis Stack seamlessly integrates into microservices architectures, completing the picture. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with best practices for administering and managing the server, ensuring scalability, high availability, data integrity, stored functions, and more.

RedisInsight – the Data Management GUI

An essential aspect of the Redis Stack revolves around the developer experience. The developer journey extends beyond just the availability of libraries and frameworks; it also encompasses the suite of tools provided to augment the development process.

One of the key tools offered by Redis is RedisInsight, a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI). This GUI serves as a gateway to interact with your Redis databases visually.

RedisInsight offers a broad spectrum of features, from visually exploring your data to crafting queries based on your specific requirements. It serves as an invaluable asset when debugging and troubleshooting, providing insights into your data like never before.

Chapter 7, Redis as a Time Series Database, thoroughly demonstrated the efficient usage of RedisInsight, showcasing how you could visualize time series data points graphically. Just as it allows you to visualize time-series data, RedisInsight also...
