Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Unlike Memcached, it supports multiple data types, giving a lot of flexibility to the user. Redis is easy to configure and provides clustering support to store data in multiple servers. In this course, you will learn about the various commands that you can use to store different types of data structures in Redis. Some of those commands include utility, insertion, and modification commands. You will also become familiar with different aspects of Redis, such as transactions, security, partitioning, and clustering. In all, this is your go-to guide to Redis.
