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 have conducted a comprehensive review of the various techniques for installing Redis Stack, encompassing the use of binaries, native packages, and Docker. Additionally, we delved into the process of optimizing the development experience by installing RedisInsight, a GUI, alongside client libraries suitable for different programming languages. Moreover, we addressed the crucial topic of running Redis health checks in a straightforward and dependable manner. It is our expectation that after studying this chapter, you will possess a sound understanding of the procedures involved in installing Redis, and that you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary for monitoring its health to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted functioning of Redis Stack.

In Chapter 4, Setting Up Client Libraries, we will focus on the developer experience by building projects for each Redis-supported client library, and we will start coding some examples using the Redis...
