Redis is an open-source NoSQL database. It is a key-value database, in-memory, extremely fast, and highly available. It can also be employed as a cache or act as a message broker. In-memory means it uses RAM for the storage of data and handles bigger-sized data using virtual memory. Redis offers a cache service or permanent storage. Redis supports a variety of data structures, such as string, set, list, bitmap, geospatial indexes, and hyperlogs. Redis can deal with geospatial, streaming, and time-series data. It is offered with cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud.
We can read and write data in Python from Redis using the Redis connector. For this connectivity purpose, we need to install Redis and the Redis connector. You can download Redis from the following link: https://github.com/rgl/redis/downloads. Redis is a pure Python Redis client library that can be installed using pip:
