Redis

Configure, operate, and optimize Redis for caching, queues, rate limiting, and real-time data storage.

When to Use

• You need a low-latency in-memory cache to reduce database load.
• Your application requires rate limiting, session storage, or leaderboards.
• You need pub/sub messaging between services.
• You want a distributed lock or job queue backed by an in-memory store.

Prerequisites

• Linux server or Docker.
• Root or sudo access for package installation.
• Redis 7.x recommended for production.
