Setting up Redis
Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that acts as a database, cache, and message broker. Its primary advantage lies in its high speed, which is largely due to its in-memory architecture. We are using Redis for caching because of the following advantages:
In-Memory Storage: By keeping all data in memory, Redis provides extremely fast read and write operations, achieving sub-millisecond response times. This makes it ideal for caching, where speed is crucial.
Single-Threaded Design: Redis uses an event-driven, single-threaded architecture. This simplifies data access patterns and minimizes context switching, which enhances performance. The single-threaded model helps avoid the complexity of multithreading and race conditions, resulting in consistent performance.
Efficient Data Structures: Redis supports a variety of data types, such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. These structures are optimized for specific use cases, ensuring efficient...
