Redis is an open source in-memory data structure server and NoSQL database.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/N7/OG/GE6NPTP63INR.PNGRedis, a fast, reliable and well supported data storage systemWe're currently using Redis to support distributed caching and synchronization across our app. Our application runs on multiple servers so ensuring all infrastructure is in sync and key operations are atomic is critical. It's being used by the backend development team in core infrastructure. Redis is well suited to solve this problem as it offers both performance and reliability.,Atomic operations Quick Lookups Widely supported (there are many tools/libraries built over Redis),We had some difficulty scaling Redis without it becoming prohibitively expensive. Redis has very simple search capabilities, which means its not suitable for all use cases. Redis doesn't have good native support for storing data in object form and many libraries built over it return data as a string, meaning you need build your own serialization layer over it.,9,Existing tools like Redisson that were built over Redis reduced dev time in solving challenging problems, which had a positive impact on ROI. We initially misused Redis for persistent storage which had a negative impact on ROI because we were paying a lot for inactive users. The increased performance we achieved using Redis in areas like locking helped us improve the performance of our system reducing the likelihood of system timeouts.,Our greatest gains in using Redis have come in the area of improved system performance. It boosted performance on requests by up to 5x over solutions built on our core database. We've also improved system reliability using Redis features like expiry, which has helped us mitigate risks associated with data corruption when system errors occur.,Yes,Product Features Product Usability Product Reputation,We've found our greatest development architecture benefits in using Redis have come from the many tools available for those using Redis. It is supported by multiple languages and libraries. We started with Jedis and later moved to Redisson for internal development, we've also found a number of tools like distributed caching offer the option of being seamlessly built over Redis.,,MongoDB, AWS OpsWorks, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, GitHubRedis is AwesomeRedis is being used as our primary NoSQL key-based database store. In the specific platform that Redis is being used the most, we have PostgreSQL as the main relational data store, Memcache for expiring key-based caching and Redis. The entire platform used within the business unit utilizes Redis but other departments are starting to use it as well given the ease of use, stability, and reliability.,Easy for developers to understand. Unlike Riak, which I've used in the past, it's fast without having to worry about eventual consistency. Reliable. With a proper multi-node configuration, it can handle failover instantly. Configurable. We primarily still use Memcache for caching but one of the teams uses Redis for both long-term storage and temporary expiry keys without taking on another external dependency. Fast. We process tens of thousands of RPS and it doesn't skip a beat.,Autoscale. We've used Redis at RedisLabs and currently on AWS with ElastiCache plus previously I've self-hosted it and there are no real options for "serverless" or an operating model whereby I'm using only the resources needed to handle my current volume, instead, everything is provisioned and sized to your highest throughput needs. For us, that's only a few hours a day where we're at our peak, the other 16 hours could run smaller hardware but the system doesn't autoscale up/down seamlessly on any of the platform providers. Management console. Some systems such as Riak have a built-in GUI for ops or Mongo runs their own Compass product but Redis seems to entirely rely on other OSS solutions, which is great, but having a built-in tool that's lock-step with the released versions would ease any quick troubleshooting that CLI-challenged ops teams could utilize. Redis replication is asynchronous. Therefore, when a primary cluster fails over to a replica, a small amount of data might be lost due to replication lag.,10,Reduced load to the primary transactional database. Ability to launch open source-based solutions backed by Redis quickly to reduce "not invented here" within engineering. Reduced infrastructure gave Redis' small footprint and flexibility for temporary caching as well as permanent storage.,Our organization has been able to use a single solution instead of multiple to handle caching, NoSQL data storage, and pub/sub. This allows for flexibility in options for engineers with simplified management for operations. Using hosted providers such as RedisLabs or AWS allows minimal involvement or overhead in production. The number of open source solutions already using Redis is high as well, this allows us to reuse the same infrastructure for out-of-the-box solutions.,No,Price Product Features Product Usability Product Reputation Prior Experience with the Product,The simplified list of commands to get/set keys and manage your keys is listed on a single page. Many languages have plugin adapters and libraries that allow for native and natural use of Redis as a data store without having to memorize the list. When looking at the CAP theorem, the approach Redis has is really simple for engineers to understand even if they know little about NoSQL or key-based storage.Gets the job done!Redis Enterprise helps us by making clustering, sharding, backups and some more very easy to set-up, control, and monitor. It's quite nice being able to sleep at night knowing that despite all your database is on volatile memory (RAM) or a hybrid solution (Redis on Flash), and still have the information clustered, sharded, replicated, and constantly being backed up, with just a few clicks. The support is really great, and the ease of use and set-up are also big selling points.,Ease of use and set-up. Clustering and sharding. Automated backups to remote storage (S3).,The documentation grows quite fast (200+ commands), perhaps they should have a most-used ranking. Redis modules (Bloom, JSON, Search) are great, but only one can be active at a time.,9,Redis can help you save money optimizing your code since it's super fast and won't slow you down. Redis on Flash can use SSD disks to provide you with more storage without the need of having everything in RAM.,Redis has helped us a lot. We started using it when MySQL wasn't fast enough for our needs, and we have never stopped since. With latencies of less than a millisecond and sometimes close to a microsecond, it's the fastest there is. Since it can be clustered, sharded and replicated with very simple steps, it's really reliable which is hard to do without losing speed.,Yes,Prior Experience with the Product Vendor Reputation Third-party Reviews,Amazon ElastiCache,Docker, Kubernetes, Nomad, AnsibleIf you need lots of user sessions, this is the product to useRedis is used by our organization to deliver schedules to the users of livestreams and playlists. We needed something that could deliver very high requests per second and also allow us database updates without impact to our customers. This has been accomplished with Redis.,The system is very reliable. The only times we had issues was when we hit database capacity limits. There is continuing development on the technology (like Redis streams) that make it an even more attractive technology. For systems that require many concurrent users, like several million watching the Super Bowl on their connected devices, it works and it works well.,None that I can think of,9,We can scale as needed (like for the Super Bowl) and not go down.,We can stream several million hours of live TV from 210 DMAs and service all those viewers and it just works.,No,Product Features Product UsabilityGet a cache server on steroids with Redis and get rid of those Memcached instancesWe use Redis as a Cache DB in a microservices environment to store auth tokens, temporary data and sync flags to coordinate processes that are handled by multiple parties asynchronously. The main problem it solves for us is to need to have a high-performance cache that also provides data persistence so we can restart instances and deploy new ones without losing data in the middle. This is very important for us because of the problem we're tackling. In the case of auth tokens, we don't want to make all users log in again after we restart an instance because the memory got cleared. The same applies for the sync flags that our processes depend on to complete.,High performance. Redis is FAST, really fast. Data persistence. Having this feature was the main reason we chose Redis over Memcached. Clustering. Distributing data between multiple instances is easy to do with Redis. Data types. It isn't normal to have native data types supported on cache servers, but Redis covers many areas for this use case.,The data type collections aren't extensive and can fall short for some needs. Single-threaded. Redis doesn't support multi-threading, so it won't benefit from multi-core CPUs. Instead, you need to deploy several single-core instances to scale horizontally. While this is a design decision, it may be a downside on some infrastructures. Lack of UI. A visual UI can be a downer for some users.,9,Implementing Redis for the first time in a project was super easy and it didn't add any noticeable cost to development or release processes. Replacing Memcached use cases with Redis was also almost entirely transparent during implementation. Having a high-performance/high-availability software solution for free and open source is a great option in this market.,Being able to deploy different instances of Redis to cover caching, messaging, sub/pub, syncs, and temp storage is helpful as we don't need expertise in many different solutions for all these cases. By just deploying Redis and tweaking each instance for their use case, we get more value from our initial investment (which is only on manpower, because Redis is Free and Open Source), and we can focus more on our business and less on infrastructure/implementation details.,Yes,Price Product Features Product Usability Product Reputation Prior Experience with the Product Third-party Reviews,We've deployed Redis into a Kubernetes cluster by just using their Docker images. Deploying this way saves a good amount of time, given that you just need to write the Pod configuration and mount the pre-built Docker image. After that, it's just a matter of deploying your Kubernetes environment and you're good to go. From there, using an SDK for your programming language is mostly transparent for any developer, and then you have your application integrated with Redis in no time.,MongoDB and Google Cloud Pub/Sub,Google Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Storage, PostgreSQL, MySQLRedis RocksWe use Redis as a cache for our Django application, and as the result storage for Celery, our distributed task runner.,Simple Fast Has a variety of data types Transaction support,Automatic command when a connection closes Negative acknowledgement support in streams,10,Redis is widely applicable, so knowledge of it transfers between use-cases Its widely used, so there are cache backends for common frameworks, like Django in our case,As an in-memory database, it is very fast, and useful for a wide range of data needs, including caching. The variety of data types provided are capable of transforming it from a simple key-value store to one that is powerful enough to run fairly advanced applications while keeping that awesome speed advantage.,No,Price Product Features Product Reputation,We have relied on Redis in our application since the beginning, so it's difficult to compare what it would have been like without it. However, we find that Redis is a consistently stable and simple data store that gives us the features we need to communicate between processes effectively and efficiently. This enables us to build on top of this code, as we know that we can trust it.,PostgreSQL, RabbitMQRedis : Effective cache management solutionFirst, I would like to clarify that Redis is not being used in production by my organization currently. Right now, I am involved in an R&D project, where I am experimenting on how to induce Redis on various modules. I am planning to use Redis as a cache management solution in our application for now. On successful implementation, we will extend Redis usage to manage other functionality as well.,Cache management: Redis is the best solution out there for cache management. It out marked Memcache in latency. Redis gives better flexibility when comes to data storage techniques. For example: Instead of storing objects as serialized strings, we can use a Redis Hash to store an object's fields and values and manage them using a single key. Replication: Redis has the best build in replication feature. For example, It allows slave Redis instances to be exact copies of master instances. The slave will automatically reconnect to the master every time the link breaks and will attempt to be an exact copy of it regardless of what happens to the master. Pub/Sub- It's Publish & Subscribe system of Redis. Where Publish broadcast content to all its subscribers simultaneously. There are various use cases of Pub/Sub. Developers are using it for triggering scripts based on Pub/Sub events. There are various chat ecosystems built on the Pub/Sub module.,Redis is super fast but it comes with a cost. Whole dataset resides in RAM. So it can be costly as primary memory is more costly, then secondary ones. Persistence issues: To achieve it, Redis uses a memory dump to create a persistence snapshot, that's cool. But it requires some Linux Kernel tweaking to avoid performance degradation while the Redis server process is forking. This further causes latency. Master-slave structure side effect: Master-slave architecture comes with its own side effects. Please note that there will be only one master with multiple slaves for replication. All writing goes to the master, which creates more load on the master node. So, when the master goes down, the whole architecture does.,10,The positive impact is increased availability of contents on a slow network due to effective cache management & service. Another positive impact is it saving us a round trip to the server. Redis has increased the performance of the application.,Currently, Redis is in an experimental phase in my organization. As I already mentioned that it's yet to be deployed in a production environment. We will study its impact when Redis will get involved in the real transaction process. So, far we have calculated that we can fetch some latency issues but, we are yet to establish it.,No,Product Usability Prior Experience with the Product Analyst Reports Third-party Reviews,Yes, we are surely being benefited by Redis features. Redis is a easy to use and maintain software. I have personally been able to manage & develop various cache & message broker related solutions easily. Production-grade deployment is also easy because I have tested it in semi prod environments, which is almost like our prod.,Oracle Database 12c, Eclipse, Oracle Java SESuper fast and easy to integrateWe currently use Redis in only one core internal application, however, this application handles around 90% of our company's internet traffic. This application load balances requests intelligently across multiple downstream server clusters. Prior to this, we used to frequently run into bottlenecks at the DB layer when web server scaling alone was insufficient. The great thing about this is also that each cluster can be running a different version of our application allowing us to maintain a high level of robustness for our larger enterprise customers, while also allowing us to deploy frequently to other clusters that want the bleeding edge. With Redis, being able to determine the right cluster for the right request happens blazing fast.,FAST LOOKUPS. First and foremost, this is the bread and butter of Redis. It is our go-to for any highly performant lookups. SCALE OUT. Helps build distributed applications that need to share data across geographies.,Better GUI clients. At the time of adoption, the choices for UI based clients were poor. Such tools are necessary for tier 1 support personnel who may not be entirely technically savvy.,9,We use Redis for the purposes of routing data within our infrastructure. In this use case, we want there to be a little additional latency as possible. In this, Redis does a great job.,We primarily use the traditional Redis simple key-value pairs. Speed and stability are what we rely on Redis for. In this aspect, we have seen exceptional performance and uptime in all the applications we use Redis in.,No,Price Product Reputation,While we don't really have much to compare with since we chose Redis off the bat for the purpose we're using it for, I can say that implementing it in our application was quite seamless.,Amazon ElastiCache,MongoDB Atlas, Node, StripePerfect for caching and expiring data storageWe use Redis as a distributed cache for many internal tools across the entire organization.

We're currently using Redis to support distributed caching and synchronization across our app. Our application runs on multiple servers so ensuring all infrastructure is in sync and key operations are atomic is critical. It's being used by the backend development team in core infrastructure. Redis is well suited to solve this problem as it offers both performance and reliability.
  • Atomic operations
  • Quick Lookups
  • Widely supported (there are many tools/libraries built over Redis)
  • We had some difficulty scaling Redis without it becoming prohibitively expensive.
  • Redis has very simple search capabilities, which means its not suitable for all use cases.
  • Redis doesn't have good native support for storing data in object form and many libraries built over it return data as a string, meaning you need build your own serialization layer over it.
Redis is a great tool for distributed caching and synchronization/locking in systems with multiple instances. It also works well for non-persistent data that doesn't grow over time, for instance, you might want to use Redis to manage a queue. It's a particularly good choice for pieces of data that are frequently updated.

Conversely, due to price/data I wouldn't recommend Redis for persisted or infrequently accessed data.

Redis is being used as our primary NoSQL key-based database store. In the specific platform that Redis is being used the most, we have PostgreSQL as the main relational data store, Memcache for expiring key-based caching and Redis. The entire platform used within the business unit utilizes Redis but other departments are starting to use it as well given the ease of use, stability, and reliability.
  • Easy for developers to understand. Unlike Riak, which I've used in the past, it's fast without having to worry about eventual consistency.
  • Reliable. With a proper multi-node configuration, it can handle failover instantly.
  • Configurable. We primarily still use Memcache for caching but one of the teams uses Redis for both long-term storage and temporary expiry keys without taking on another external dependency.
  • Fast. We process tens of thousands of RPS and it doesn't skip a beat.
  • Autoscale. We've used Redis at RedisLabs and currently on AWS with ElastiCache plus previously I've self-hosted it and there are no real options for "serverless" or an operating model whereby I'm using only the resources needed to handle my current volume, instead, everything is provisioned and sized to your highest throughput needs. For us, that's only a few hours a day where we're at our peak, the other 16 hours could run smaller hardware but the system doesn't autoscale up/down seamlessly on any of the platform providers.
  • Management console. Some systems such as Riak have a built-in GUI for ops or Mongo runs their own Compass product but Redis seems to entirely rely on other OSS solutions, which is great, but having a built-in tool that's lock-step with the released versions would ease any quick troubleshooting that CLI-challenged ops teams could utilize.
  • Redis replication is asynchronous. Therefore, when a primary cluster fails over to a replica, a small amount of data might be lost due to replication lag.
Redis is great for queues (push/pop) and pub/sub. It can also be used for caching though take care of managing those expire settings and don't mix permanent keys with expired keys on the same hosts unless you want to spend some time troubleshooting unplanned evictions. When looking at open source solutions to messaging, queuing, background jobs, etc. - you'll find many solutions work with Redis out-of-the-box.

Redis Enterprise helps us by making clustering, sharding, backups and some more very easy to set-up, control, and monitor. It's quite nice being able to sleep at night knowing that despite all your database is on volatile memory (RAM) or a hybrid solution (Redis on Flash), and still have the information clustered, sharded, replicated, and constantly being backed up, with just a few clicks. The support is really great, and the ease of use and set-up are also big selling points.
  • Ease of use and set-up.
  • Clustering and sharding.
  • Automated backups to remote storage (S3).
  • The documentation grows quite fast (200+ commands), perhaps they should have a most-used ranking.
  • Redis modules (Bloom, JSON, Search) are great, but only one can be active at a time.
Redis is fast, super simple and reliable. You need minimum security measures like having your data replicated and (at least daily) backups for emergencies. If you want to have all this done automatically by a simple UI, then Redis Enterprise is a must We have been working with Redis for over 5 years and we couldn't be happier.

Redis is used by our organization to deliver schedules to the users of livestreams and playlists. We needed something that could deliver very high requests per second and also allow us database updates without impact to our customers. This has been accomplished with Redis.
  • The system is very reliable. The only times we had issues was when we hit database capacity limits.
  • There is continuing development on the technology (like Redis streams) that make it an even more attractive technology.
  • For systems that require many concurrent users, like several million watching the Super Bowl on their connected devices, it works and it works well.
  • None that I can think of
It is well suited where you need lots of calls to a database, not the best solution for long term storage

Get a cache server on steroids with Redis and get rid of those Memcached instances

Leonel Quinteros

We use Redis as a Cache DB in a microservices environment to store auth tokens, temporary data and sync flags to coordinate processes that are handled by multiple parties asynchronously.
The main problem it solves for us is to need to have a high-performance cache that also provides data persistence so we can restart instances and deploy new ones without losing data in the middle. This is very important for us because of the problem we're tackling. In the case of auth tokens, we don't want to make all users log in again after we restart an instance because the memory got cleared. The same applies for the sync flags that our processes depend on to complete.
  • High performance. Redis is FAST, really fast.
  • Data persistence. Having this feature was the main reason we chose Redis over Memcached.
  • Clustering. Distributing data between multiple instances is easy to do with Redis.
  • Data types. It isn't normal to have native data types supported on cache servers, but Redis covers many areas for this use case.
  • The data type collections aren't extensive and can fall short for some needs.
  • Single-threaded. Redis doesn't support multi-threading, so it won't benefit from multi-core CPUs. Instead, you need to deploy several single-core instances to scale horizontally. While this is a design decision, it may be a downside on some infrastructures.
  • Lack of UI. A visual UI can be a downer for some users.
Redis is great for any cache service with data persistence implementation. If you need a super-fast cache, you can always use the in-memory cache (without persistence) to improve performance and still get all the benefits of the service.
It's usually compared to Memcached, and in terms of performance I think they're very similar, and for some critical applications, Memcached may be a better option. But the feature-rich characteristics of Redis will position it in a more competitive place against many applications.

We use Redis as a cache for our Django application, and as the result storage for Celery, our distributed task runner.
  • Simple
  • Fast
  • Has a variety of data types
  • Transaction support
  • Automatic command when a connection closes
  • Negative acknowledgement support in streams
Redis is well suited for caching, as well as distributed coordination between workers. It doesn't work extremely well for cases where the data is highly interconnected, though RedisGraph may be a good solution to that (I'm not able to review it, because I haven't used it). Its variety of data types makes it possible to do some rather advanced things easily, and when combined with scripting, there are very few hard limitations on what is possible.

Redis : Effective cache management solution

First, I would like to clarify that Redis is not being used in production by my organization currently. Right now, I am involved in an R&D project, where I am experimenting on how to induce Redis on various modules. I am planning to use Redis as a cache management solution in our application for now. On successful implementation, we will extend Redis usage to manage other functionality as well.
  • Cache management: Redis is the best solution out there for cache management. It out marked Memcache in latency. Redis gives better flexibility when comes to data storage techniques.
  • For example: Instead of storing objects as serialized strings, we can use a Redis Hash to store an object's fields and values and manage them using a single key.
  • Replication: Redis has the best build in replication feature.
  • For example, It allows slave Redis instances to be exact copies of master instances. The slave will automatically reconnect to the master every time the link breaks and will attempt to be an exact copy of it regardless of what happens to the master.
  • Pub/Sub- It's Publish & Subscribe system of Redis. Where Publish broadcast content to all its subscribers simultaneously. There are various use cases of Pub/Sub. Developers are using it for triggering scripts based on Pub/Sub events. There are various chat ecosystems built on the Pub/Sub module.
  • Redis is super fast but it comes with a cost. Whole dataset resides in RAM. So it can be costly as primary memory is more costly, then secondary ones.
  • Persistence issues: To achieve it, Redis uses a memory dump to create a persistence snapshot, that's cool. But it requires some Linux Kernel tweaking to avoid performance degradation while the Redis server process is forking. This further causes latency.
  • Master-slave structure side effect: Master-slave architecture comes with its own side effects. Please note that there will be only one master with multiple slaves for replication. All writing goes to the master, which creates more load on the master node. So, when the master goes down, the whole architecture does.
Well suited scenarios: Cache management, real-time analysis of events, and leaderboards/counting. Less appropriate scenarios: Persistence and clustering.

We currently use Redis in only one core internal application, however, this application handles around 90% of our company's internet traffic. This application load balances requests intelligently across multiple downstream server clusters. Prior to this, we used to frequently run into bottlenecks at the DB layer when web server scaling alone was insufficient.

The great thing about this is also that each cluster can be running a different version of our application allowing us to maintain a high level of robustness for our larger enterprise customers, while also allowing us to deploy frequently to other clusters that want the bleeding edge. With Redis, being able to determine the right cluster for the right request happens blazing fast.
  • FAST LOOKUPS. First and foremost, this is the bread and butter of Redis. It is our go-to for any highly performant lookups.
  • SCALE OUT. Helps build distributed applications that need to share data across geographies.
  • Better GUI clients. At the time of adoption, the choices for UI based clients were poor. Such tools are necessary for tier 1 support personnel who may not be entirely technically savvy.
I would highly recommend Redis as a hosted solution. We tried self-hosting initially but gave up on that due to the overhead of maintenance. We really want to use Redis in mission-critical projects and as such, reliability is paramount. Self-hosting leads to concerns with reliability—that's best left to services for whom that is their bread and butter.

Redis has helped us to improve the performance of our database performance by using it as a buffer/cache to the most frequently accessed pieces of data while doing data analytics. It provides us with a faster and simpler way to ship data from the database to the client's computer. It also helps us work with real-time data efficiently and reliably.
  • Excellent performance
  • Scalability
  • Reliability
  • Real-time analytics
  • Few commands
Using Redis to cache our most frequently accessed data was one of the best decisions we ever made.

We use Redis to run frontend caching, sessions and backend value store systems for our main web property. We are big supporters of the community and love watching it evolve over time.

Redis is well suited for front end caching of websites and apps. We also use it successfully to manage our web/app cookies and sessions. Everything in Redis is in your RAM, so if you need anything stored permanently you'll need to turn on the persistence options, which will slow down Redis a bunch since it has to write to disk.

Redis is being used as a cache for real-time locations. It serves the last known location of users sharing their location with other users in real-time, thus being an essential part of our organization.
  • Storing geolocations - Redis has built-in geolocation storage capabilities, thus saving us the time of developing the logic ourselves.
  • Serving fast info for real-time apps - To anyone who works with real-time applications, fast information is the basis of good user experiences.
  • I think the documentation could improve. It's not always clear, especially for engineers that are new on Redis.
  • Redislabs admin interface could use a tune-up, maybe being more informative and with a better UI.
  • I think the main cons I see in Redis could be that it may be a bit too obscure to new users.
Redis is very useful for real-time scenarios where disposable recent information may be useful such as a location share app, mobile games or even a volatile chat. I must say, I haven't looked into Redis beyond these examples, so I couldn't recommend it for other use cases. The obvious less appropriate use would be for something such as a full database stack.

About Redis

According to the vendor, Redis is an in-memory multi-model database that supports multiple data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries. Redis has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions and different levels of on-disk persistence, and provides high availability and automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster.

Redis combines in-memory, schema-less design with optimized data structures and versatile modules that adapt to your data needs. The result is an adept, high performance, multi-purpose database that scales easily like a simple key/value data store but delivers sophisticated functionality with great simplicity, according to the vendor.

Redis also enables data persistence and high availability through replication and backups. Redis Enterprise is built from the ground up to serve as a system of record for any application.
