Description

Redis is the most popular in-memory key-value data store. It's very lightweight and its data types give it an edge over the other competitors. If you need an in-memory database or a high-performance cache system that is simple to use and highly scalable, Redis is what you need. Redis Essentials is a fast-paced guide that teaches the fundamentals on data types, explains how to manage data through commands, and shares experiences from big players in the industry. We start off by explaining the basics of Redis followed by the various data types such as Strings, hashes, lists, and more. Next, Common pitfalls for various scenarios are described, followed by solutions to ensure you do not fall into common traps. After this, major differences between client implementations in PHP, Python, and Ruby are presented. Next, you will learn how to extend Redis with Lua, get to know security techniques such as basic authorization, firewall rules, and SSL encryption, and discover how to use Twemproxy, Redis Sentinel, and Redis Cluster to scale infrastructures horizontally. At the end of this book, you will be able to utilize all the essential features of Redis to optimize your project's performance.

This is a really good Redis book. I do have a good experience working with Redis, and was still able to profit from this book. The book goes from the very basic (installing Redis and running the first command with redis-cli) to more advanced features and techniques (using Redis as a time-series database or the inner workings of Redis Cluster and Sentinel), always with a good coverage of real-world examples.I also liked the way the authors presented the problems related to replication and sharding and then presented the official tools for that, giving a good notion on how the actual history happened, as Redis wasn't designed in the first place with replication and sharding in mind. The authors do show to have large experience in the topic, and the book is also very well written. Definitely a good book to have in the collection.

This is the Redis book I have been waiting for. It introduces fundamental operations using the Redis command line interface, and then shows useful examples of the same operations using Node.js. The combination of Node.js and Redis is a popular mix, so the approach in this book should appeal to a large audience of server side developers.The writing quality and editing is uncommonly good in this book. I am a fan of PACKT books which are frequently first to market for new technologies, but they are sometimes rushed and written by amateurs. Not so here. The authors and reviewers are legit, have solid technical chops, and it shows.I buy a lot of technical books from Amazon, read them, and sell them back to clear shelf space. I keep a few of the better books. This book is a keeper. I hope the authors will return with more excellent writing about other parts of the Node.js ecosystem.

Lots of basic and not-so-obvious info.

Fast delivery, would use again.

I like the content, although the book cover design needs a bit work; I've been using redis for a while, it was a great read, learn bunch tricks that I didn't know, and really like couple of interesting real world examples! Thumbs up!
