Redis Fundamentals
Introduction Redis is the world's fastest in-memory database. It offers cloud and on-premises solutions for caching, vector search, and NoSQL databases. In-memory is a concept related to how data is stored and accessed in a computer. When we talk about in-memory, we refer to storing data directly in the computer's RAM (Random Access Memory) rather than on a hard drive. Here are some key points about in-memory storage: Storing data in RAM : When data is stored in-memory , it is kept in the computer's RAM . RAM has faster access speeds compared to hard drives, allowing for quicker data querying and processing. The read and write speed of RAM is very fast, typically reaching several GB/s . The read and write speed of SSDs ( Solid State Drives ) usually starts from 320 MB/s and can reach thousands of megabytes per second. The read and write speed of HDDs ( Hard Disk Drives ) is lower, generally ranging from 80 MB/s to 160 MB/s. In-memory data is often used f...
