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.

Getting Started with Redis Stack

Redis Stack is a collection of software components that together provide a complete solution for managing data.

As we saw in the previous chapter, Redis Stack is a bundle composed of Redis, plus additional capabilities and data structures. Redis Stack operates under a dual-license framework: the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and the Server Side Public License (SSPL). Before Redis Stack was released, each additional data structure and functionality needed to be added separately and activated for each Redis database. Now, everything is integrated and activated by default, easing both the developer and the operational experience.

The Redis Stack community has been focusing on improving the Developer eXperience (DX) for its users. In general, DX refers to the experience of developers as they work with tools, technologies, and platforms to create software. It encompasses everything from the ease of setting up a development environment to...
