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 dived into the modeling and indexing capabilities of Redis Stack. In particular, we experimented with the query syntax on some sample databases and learned about the possibilities that are offered by the search and aggregation features. In addition, we discovered several chances to enrich our applications using spellcheck, auto-completion, highlighting, summarizing, stemming, and more.

Once you were familiar with modeling, indexing, and searching through a database of Hash or JSON documents, you discovered how to implement a recommendation system using a scoring approach. We finished this chapter by modeling a session using Redis Stack’s capabilities, with examples and the trade-offs of using one data structure rather than another provided. While the many features considered in this chapter provide a rich application design and development experience, more features will be added to Redis Stack, such as the ability to index new geometries, or new...
