Redis in 100 Seconds

#database #tech #100SecondsOfCode

Note. I collaborated with RedisLabs on this video, but I maintained full creative control over the content - Redis it’s a product I genuinely like and use (like all topics on my channel).

100 seconds! That's all the attention span I have

Fantastic as usual (you really make our content look bad next to yours Jeff haha)

What I would add is redis achieves full durability through APF (append only file) journaling aka WAL or redo logs in other databases.

The beauty here is you can configure how durable you want Redis to be which can give you more write performance. Full durability means every write synchronously writes to the AOF disk and only succeeds when that write to disk succeeds. Your writes are as fast as your AOF disk but you suffer no data loss in case of an outage.

You can configure redis journaling to be asynchronously written every x second (minimum 1 second) which means writes are blazing fast (in memory). Every second the writes are buffered and asynchronously written to the AOF. However you could lose a second worth of data in case of an outage.

So I am really interested to see how redis perform in full durability mode against other DBMS specially with indexes and concurrent transactions.

This is a channel I didn't know I needed. I am studying up on different cloud services and it's like drinking from a fire hydrant. When I have to get familiar with dozens of services, it's great to have the ability to get a brief overview just like it is done in this video. Thank you!

“if you need relations then add graphs extension” I would love to see a video where you explain if it possible to swap a relation database with a graph database

Incredible. This is by far the most clear and concise explanation of Redis I've ever heard

Your ability to produce quality content so fast is amazing

As a computer science student, I start from your channel whenever I have to study a different topic. Thanks for the excellent short content.🙏

I have to admit - whenever I'm trying to understand some fancy tech concept, like get a detailed overview of it, Fireship is the one-stop solution !! Amazing content 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your shorts are usually jokey but these videos really do a good job of explaining the main functionality of certain frameworks and concepts. Whether or not I'd use redis comes down to what project is being worked on. All projects I've worked on so far have never needed something more advanced than a regular mysql database. The thing is that people want more performance out of it yet I haven't come even close to the full potential by optimizing my queries properly and beyond that level of performance we're talking about completely different levels of scale

I love your 100 seconds videos!
I watch and like them all, hoping to help you beat the YouTube recommendation algorithm and make these wonderful short videos show up as suggested videos for other folks.

Now have a great day, and keep up the good work!

You just totally changed my understanding of Redis at 1 AM. Excellent video.

Salvatore Sanfilippo is one of the many reasons why I'm proud of being Italian (he comes just after the pizza)

[danvilela]

I was just studying this! I also read that redis can serve as a pub/sub mechanism replacing your usual queue tech (for example SQS)

[jacobrose]

These videos are highly accessible and that’s why they blow up. Fireship should get a dedicated team with the express purpose of planning out these bite-sized videos… seriously.
Have different “tiers” as well, like normie, beginner, and tech wizard videos.

[elbojoloco]

Been using Redis for many years, and NEVER did I think to use it for more than just a basic message bus or cache store... Thank you for opening my eyes!

[explodingpizza]

I can't say no to a tech video that teaches me something valuable in only 100 seconds.

Honestly you have such a gift, I don’t even think redis themselves could come up with a better commercial

[jesselima_dev]

The best short explanation about Redis. Good to know about Redis as the primary database is an option on the table (is not a SQL joke but it could be hahaha).
Depending on the use case can and cost relation it can be really great.
The Radisson and RedisGraph look very interesting to me.

[subhaneet]

I have only used redis to store session and such but this makes me wanna expand upon it. Thank you!!
