Preface

Learning Redis is meant to be a guide and handbook for developers, architects, solution providers, consultants, engineers, and anyone planning to learn, design, and architect an Enterprise Solution and looking for an in-memory datastore that is agile and fast and extends its capabilities beyond just storing data.

This book starts with an introduction to the evolving landscape of NoSQL, explores commands in easy-to-understand examples, and then uses Redis in a few sample applications, with Redis as the backbone. The later sections of the book focus on the management of Redis for performance and scalability.

This book covers core concepts to design and create fast, agile, and concurrent applications, but it is not meant to be a replacement for the official documentation guide for Redis, published by Redis.io.
