Behind the Keys: Redis Oyster Cult
summary
Claims that Redis is far beyond GET/SET with concrete patterns: using sorted sets (ZSETs) to maintain a live leaderboard of speaker tweet counts, storing ~9,000 unique words via set unions and intersections, and using blocking lists as job queues so many workers pop jobs without collisions. Demonstrates bit-level ops to pack permissions into compact binary keys, relies on Redis atomic commands for correctness, and uses pub/sub and transactions for coordination — everything in RAM for millisecond counts and extremely fast counters.
