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.

Installing Redis Stack using native packages

Different operating systems have their own native package managers that allow you to easily download and install software from a repository of pre-built packages. For example, on Linux, package managers such as APT, YUM, and Pacman are used to manage the installation of software. On macOS, the native package manager is Homebrew, and on Windows, it is Windows Package Manager (WinGet).

To install software using native packages, you simply need to run a command in the command line or use a graphical user interface (GUI) to search for the desired package and initiate the installation process. The package manager will then download the required files and dependencies and install the software on the system.

Using native packages for installation has several advantages over other methods, such as manual installation or downloading from third-party websites. These advantages include the following:

  • Convenience: The installation process...
