Beyond the Cache with Redis + Node.js
summary
Workshop shows Redis 8 (milestone 8.0-m02) plus Redis Insight and Node/Express code running from Docker to build a Bigfoot tracking REST API backed by RedisJSON and RediSearch, ingesting a 4,586-row BFRO CSV. It demos RedisJSON and RediSearch for storing and full‑text / geo / numeric queries, and explains pipelining and transactions (multi/exec, WATCH) including cross‑slot clustering limits. Exercises, skeleton code and a working demo confirm the API and searches function end‑to‑end.
