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.

Integrating Redis with generative AI

The rise of conversational AI took the world by storm in the early months of 2023 thanks to the advent of powerful large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. ChatGPT versions 3.5 and 4, which were presented around March 2023, have surprised users with unprecedented quality answers and the ability to solve complex and structured problems, produce ideas, organize and edit texts, and generate source code, all by using natural and conversational questions in the desired language. This has impressed the world in a wide variety of scenarios and use cases. While such a paradigm shift has been driven by the ChatGPT assistant, which is available for free to the public, the possibility of turning the usual applications and services into smart assistants has been accelerated by pay-as-you-go service models by OpenAI and other providers, democratizing the access to such advanced capabilities.

However, training such systems is extremely time-consuming...
