Redis

Redis is a high-performance, open-source in-memory data store known for its speed, flexibility, and efficiency. It supports multiple data structures, including strings, lists, sets, and hashes, making it more than just a traditional key-value store.

Designed for low-latency operations, Redis excels in caching, real-time analytics, and pub/sub messaging. It also offers persistence options, replication, and clustering for high availability and scalability.

Where is it used in the stack?

Redis is used as a caching layer for the RawStack API, improving response times and reducing database load.

Why are we using it?

Redis was chosen for its blazing-fast performance and ability to handle large volumes of requests with minimal latency. By caching frequently accessed data, it enhances the scalability and responsiveness of the RawStack API.
