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.

Programming in Java using Jedis

Java is a robust, high-level, and widely used programming language that has become a staple for developers, software engineers, and IT professionals across various industries. Developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995, Java prioritizes portability, scalability, and maintainability, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced programmers.

Java is platform-independent, thanks to its “write once, run anywhere” philosophy, which allows developers to create code that can be executed on different operating systems, such as Windows, Macintosh, Solaris, Linux, and Unix. This is made possible by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which translates Java bytecode into machine code for the specific platform.

Java supports object-oriented programming principles, encouraging modular, reusable, and maintainable code. Its extensive standard library, known as the Java Development Kit (JDK), provides developers...
