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 chapter, we reviewed the common scenarios Redis is known for: a real-time store for caching, a compact session store, a flexible message broker, and more. We also introduced modern use cases that can be implemented using the capabilities of Redis Stack. You learned about the indexing features to implement a faceted search in an online retail store and the convenience of indexing a dataset partially. You also discovered how to work with unstructured data to implement a recommendation system based on VSS or to serve an ML pipeline when Redis Stack is used as an online feature store. Finally, you explored microservice architecture patterns and learned how to implement them with Redis Stack.

In Chapter 3, Getting Started with Redis Stack, you will learn how to install Redis Stack on different environments using binary packages, Docker images, and more. You will also prepare your environment so that you can work with the client libraries for the desired programming language...
