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.

Using Redis Cloud

In the previous sections, we saw how easy it is to install Redis Stack, but there is another option that is even easier. You can avoid installation entirely, by using Redis Cloud, a service provided by Redis (the company). Redis Cloud can be used as a Database as a Service (DBaaS) on leading cloud providers such as Google Cloud, Azure, and AWS.

The only prerequisite is registering to the Redis portal, at the following link: https://app.redislabs.com/.

Once registered, you can start configuring the size of your Redis Stack database in a few seconds, as follows:

Once configured, Redis Cloud will provide the endpoint of your Redis Stack database, which is accessible with the credentials you provided, as depicted in the following figure:

Overall, the fully managed service offers an easy and convenient way to use Redis Stack...
