Introduction to the GitHub Search Project
Explore how to build a GitHub search engine using Redis and Node.js by creating API routes to search repositories, issues, and users. Learn Redis caching to speed up responses and examine how timing reveals performance improvements.
We'll cover the following...
We’ll build our first complete project by using Redis operations and GitHub APIs.
The project aims to create a search engine for GitHub that searches the GitHub data for repositories, issues, and users. We’ll use Redis to store some frequent data and actually see in real life how Redis improves the overall performance of the application by introducing the timers for each response. Redis will act as a cache for GitHub API responses, reducing the need for frequent network calls. For simplicity, we’ll only return the number of results fetched from the GitHub API instead of returning ...
