Introduction to Redis Redis is a key-value database that has
very nice features which every computer scientist love it. Why I
love Redis? - Redis give the data structure like all computer
scientist learn in the school such as Set, sorted set, List, and
Hash. So you don’t need to think in SQL anymore. - Redis is very
fast it can gives you the performance about 50,000 to 100,000
operation per second in basic basic computers (2GHz CPU with 2GB
RAM). - you can install Redis in 2 minutes. (Linux and Windows)
- It’s written in ANSI-C so you can easily pick the source code
(Yes, it’s open source!) and modify the code if you want. -
There are native clients for almost every language (include
Python , Ruby and PHP) and Yes, you don’t need Thrift. - You can
setup master-slave replication of Redis in 2 minutes. - Redis
has great community lead by Salvatore Sanfilippo. (also check
Redis Google group) - Redis is great for large scale web
programming without need of MySQL. (Check Retwis ) - Redis is
very easy to learn. Whe
