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.

Technical requirements

To follow along with the examples in this chapter, you will need the following:

  • Install Redis Stack Server 7.2 or a later version on your development environment. Alternatively, you can create a free Redis Cloud subscription to achieve a free plan and use a managed Redis Stack database.
  • The dataset that will be used in the examples is a conversion of the popular MySQL World database to Redis Hashes.
  • We will introduce data modeling through Hash and JSON data structures with examples that can be tested using a simple KnowledgeBase dataset.
  • Find and download all the datasets from this book’s repository if you’d like to test the examples that we’ll propose in this chapter: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Redis-Stack-for-Application-Modernization.
