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.

Redis Stack client libraries

Redis Stack client libraries enable you to easily integrate Redis into your applications, regardless of your preferred programming language. By using the appropriate Redis Stack client library, you can significantly improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of your applications, while also benefiting from the extensive features and capabilities of Redis.

The supported Redis Stack client libraries are as follows:

  • redis-py (Python): A widely used and well-maintained Python client library that supports various Redis features and offers thread-safe and robust connection handling.
  • Jedis (Java): A popular Java client library with high performance and comprehensive support for Redis commands. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous command execution, as well as connection pooling for efficient resource management.
  • node-redis (Node.js): A robust and feature-rich Redis client for Node.js, offering complete support for Redis commands...
