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.

Developing Modern Use Cases with Redis Stack

Redis Stack can be used in many different scenarios. While Redis is traditionally used as an in-memory real-time cache and as a session store, or it can be used to store leaderboards or act as a message broker using different core data structures, Redis Stack extends Redis’s well-known features, thus becoming a flexible solution to many emerging problems. In this chapter, we will present an overview of the traditional use cases so that you will find solutions to classical problems. We will focus on the new use cases that are possible using Redis Stack’s multi-model capabilities.

In this chapter, you will learn how Redis Stack can prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks or spot attempts of fraud, thus helping secure the stability of an application and the confidentiality of data. You will also discover how to track the nearest available bikes of the urban bike-sharing service and how to efficiently count all the user authentications...
