<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Redis is an in-memory remote database that offers high performance, replication, and a unique data model to produce a platform for solving problems. By supporting five different types of data structures, Redis accommodates a wide variety of problems without the conceptual gymnastics required by other databases.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Summary</b> <p/><i>Redis in Action</i> introduces Redis and walks you through examples that demonstrate how to use it effectively. You'll begin by getting Redis set up properly and then exploring the key-value model. Then, you'll dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You'll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets. Experienced developers will appreciate chapters on clustering and internal scripting to make Redis easier to use. <p/><b>About the Technology</b> <p/>When you need near-real-time access to a fast-moving data stream, key-value stores like Redis are the way to go. Redis expands on the key-value pattern by accepting a wide variety of data types, including hashes, strings, lists, and other structures. It provides lightning-fast operations on in-memory datasets, and also makes it easy to persist to disk on the fly. Plus, it's free and open source. <p/><b>About this book</b> <p/><i>Redis in Action</i> introduces Redis and the key-value model.
