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.

Redis Stack as a development environment

When working with Redis Stack, achieving HA, scalability, and security might seem like a steep hill to climb. There’s a lot to set up and monitor; however, don’t be daunted! Even if you’re just getting your feet wet, having a roadmap can be invaluable. That’s why I’ve compiled a mini-guide for you. While it won’t magically turn Redis Stack into an enterprise-grade solution, it will give you a solid foundation of general guidelines and recommendations to move in the right direction. Consider it your compass in the sometimes complex world of Redis Stack optimization.

HA

Let’s start with HA. In Redis Stack, HA is achieved by increasing the number of Redis Stack instances configured as replicas. These replicas listen to and follow a primary instance. To set this up, specify the IP address and port of the primary instance, and all replicas will receive updates.

Typical configuration parameters...
