The Curated articles are guides, regularly updated by the Compose team, to the essential postings and help content available for each of the Compose databases. Here we look at Redis.

About Redis

Redis is a speedy in-memory database. Often used for caching and message brokerage, it supports a variety of different data-types. Redis is an open-source, low maintenance key/value store. Redis's lightning fast speed comes from its architecture – an in-memory database which keeps your entire dataset in RAM for fast access, handling persisting to disk in the background.
