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.
