Summary

In this chapter, we have introduced Redis Stack starting from its foundation, the open source Redis server. We have introduced the multi-model approach of Redis Stack with examples, and we have performed simple searches beyond primary key lookup. You have learned about the syntax of the commands to use Redis Stack as a document store capable of storing Hash and JSON documents, and as a time series store, to store data points and search through them. Finally, we explored probabilistic data structures and have shown examples of database programmability.

In Chapter 2, Developing Modern Use Cases with Redis Stack, we will see that Redis Stack can be used in many different scenarios. From an in-memory, real-time cache and session store, to storing leaderboards, or being used as a message broker in a microservice architecture, you will learn that Redis Stack can be a better fit than deploying multiple specialized databases and messaging solutions.
