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.

Designing microservice architectures with Redis Stack

Microservice architecture is a system design pattern that promotes subdividing large services into smaller units by decomposing the business logic into decoupled and independent services, each depending on the preferred technology stack, languages data models, and more. These services take the name of microservices and, communicating over a network, deliver the functionality of a larger system.

In this section, we will introduce some of the principal patterns for microservice architectures. These patterns are guidelines for designing, developing, and deploying microservices. We will approach this subject by presenting the value that the capabilities of Redis Stack provide at the time of choosing the suitable technology for the implementation. In this section, we will discuss the following patterns:

  • API gateway
  • API gateway caching
  • Domain-driven design
  • Query caching
  • Command query responsibility segregation...
