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 Go using go-redis

Golang, more commonly known as Go, is an open source programming language that has grown in popularity due to its many advantages. One of the most significant benefits of using Go is its simplicity and minimalistic design. This aspect makes it easy to learn and understand for developers of varying experience levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals.

The Go community is another reason to consider using the language. It is an active and growing group of developers that contributes to an ever-expanding ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. This evolving ecosystem offers resources and support to help you learn about and use the language effectively.

In order to install the Golang Redis library, you need to utilize the widely used go-redis/redis package, which is a thoroughly maintained and feature-packed Redis client for Go. Before installing the package, ensure that Go is already set up on your system. At the time this content was created...
