#147 – Introduction to Key Value Stores and Redis

This week, Chris and Martin look at Key-Value stores and in particular, Redis, with Kyle Davis, Head of Developer Advocacy at Redis Labs. Key Value stores are at first glance a lightweight way to store structured data. As it turns out, the implementation of Redis includes significantly more features and functionality as well as multiple complex data types.

Redis runs in-memory and is typically used accelerate traditional databases or store state for web-based applications. The ability to store and retrieve data from memory enables fast response times for features like shopping carts or tracking gaming activity.

One interesting aspect of this conversation is how it highlights the transfer of managing data and state from an application into shared infrastructure. This is something micro-services can use to their advantage by simplifying programming and reducing complexity.

You can try Redis out online by visiting the Redis Labs website.
