persistent collections as a service
summary
Quick practical tour of Redis showing actual commands and use cases: BRPOPLPUSH used to implement a reliable circular queue and it works atomically; counters and semaphores use atomic increments because the server is single-threaded; lists, sets, sorted sets (scores as timestamps) and hashes map to Python structures and support efficient range and trim operations. Uses redis-py for examples, fakeredis for unit tests and aioredis for asyncio; mentions pub/sub, server-side Lua scripts and upcoming streams for real-time log-like data.
