About Redis

An in-memory data store used as a cache, database, and message broker.

Redis stores data in memory, making reads and writes extremely fast. It supports a wide range of data structures—strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, and more—plus optional modules for JSON, full-text search, time-series data, and probabilistic data types. Developers use it primarily for caching, session storage, real-time leaderboards, and queuing.

Where to start

Spin up a Redis server (locally via Docker or through a hosted service), then connect your application using an official client library for your language. From there, basic get/set operations and the command reference are the fastest way to learn the API.
