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.

Summary

In this last chapter, we delved into Redis Stack, emphasizing its role as a robust development environment. We explored the pivotal aspects of scalability and HA, which ensure the seamless operation and adaptability of Redis systems. The topic of security hardening emerged as a cornerstone, introducing tools such as ACL and TLS to protect data.

Transitioning to Redis Enterprise, we highlighted its proficiency in supporting production environments with features such as multi-tenancy architecture and dynamic auto-tiering. This section also emphasized advanced HA mechanisms and further security refinements.

Last, but not least, this chapter introduced Redis Cloud, a fully managed DBaaS solution, touching upon the crucial concept of TCO. We outlined the numerous benefits of Redis Cloud and its flexible IaC offerings and concluded with an overview of its three distinct plans. In essence, this chapter provided you with a holistic understanding of the Redis ecosystem, from development...
