Redis: Beyond Caching and Queues
summary
Describes using Redis as the primary database for three years, storing users, likes and courses in memory-backed keys and implementing features with Redis data types: set intersection (SINTER) for finding common likes and sorted sets with ZINCRBY + ZREVRANGE for simple recommendations. Covers transactional patterns (MULTI/EXEC and server-side Lua scripts) and durability options (RDB/AOF), an IP rate limiter using INCR + EXPIRE, algorithmic costs like SINTER’s complexity, and high-availability options such as Sentinel and clustering.
