Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. We are happy to announce the launch of Redis Enterprise 5.4, the latest version of our high performance, in-memory database platform. The new version contains the following major enhancements: Redis 5.0 GA — Redis Streams Redis Streams, introduced  in Redis 5.0, is one of the most popular products today in the Redis ecosystem. Redis Streams is a new data type that models a log data structure in-memory and implements additional powerful operations, such as: A set of blocking operations allowing consumers to wait for new data added to a stream by producers. A concept ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. It’s that time of year! No, I don’t mean the seasons changing. It’s RedisConf CfP time! This is your opportunity to talk about Redis in front of a gathering of fellow geeks. RedisConf ‘19 will be held April 2-3 at San Francisco’s Pier 27. That might seem like a long time from now, but we’re already busy putting together a schedule of sessions to ensure that April will be great. In the past, we’ve run into people who wanted to talk at RedisConf but were worried that they didn’t know everything about Redis, or ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. This December, Redis Labs — the company behind Redis — is headed to KubeCon and CloudNativeCon in Seattle. Redis is a NoSQL in-memory database and is known for its simplicity and efficient performance. Furthermore, Redis is also the most popular database on Stackoverflow and has surpassed one billion container downloads on Docker Hub. While in Seattle, our team will be showcasing the work that makes Redis Enterprise containers a great choice for developing containerized, stateful microservices on a cloud native platform like Kubernetes. Our Enterprise product addresses the needs of cloud native production environments ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. Data processing has been revolutionized in recent years, and these changes present tremendous possibilities. For example, if we consider a variety of use cases — from the IoT and Artificial Intelligence to user activity monitoring, fraud detection and FinTech — what do all of these cases have in common? They all collect and process high volumes of data, which arrive at high velocities. After processing this data, these technologies then deliver them to all the appropriate consumers of data. Last month, with the release of version 5.0, Redis launched an innovative new way to ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. Redis is well known as an in-memory database that’s designed for various use cases, including session management, caching, high speed transactions, pub/sub, data streaming, analytics, and more. Redis is also popular for its support of client libraries and its wide-ranging list of programming languages. You can develop apps with most popular programming languages and connect them to your Redis database with zero hassle. Another reason Redis is versatile is its extensibility  as a multi-model database. For example, you can import a RediSearch module into Redis and get an extremely fast, in-memory, search engine. Similarly, ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. As we gear up for 2019, we are very excited to announce the latest release of Redis Enterprise which marks a significant milestone in our journey towards a zero latency future, and comes packed with all sorts of goodies. Let’s review three capabilities that make the new Redis Enterprise especially interesting. RedisGraph RedisGraph is a Redis module that represents connected data as adjacency matrices instead of the more common adjacency lists per data point representation. By using sparse matrices and employing the power of GraphBLAS (a highly optimized library for sparse matrix operations), RedisGraph ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Pieter Cailliau. Introducing RedisGraph Today we are happy to announce the general availability of RedisGraph v1.0. RedisGraph is a Redis module developed by Redis Labs to add graph database functionality to Redis. We released RedisGraph in preview/beta mode over six months ago, and appreciate all of the great feedback and suggestions we’ve received from the community and our customers as we worked together on our first GA version. Unlike existing graph database implementations, RedisGraph represents connected data as adjacency matrices instead of adjacency lists per data point. By representing the data as sparse matrices and employing ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Ben Mansheim. “Open source” carries a lot of meaning in the world of technology these days. Twenty years after the term was coined, open source projects harness the power of voluntary contributors to produce and support software that is quickly growing in its impact on every industry, in every location. At its core, open source merely means that a product ships with the code that was written to produce it. The ability to access this source code creates the potential for modification and repackaging that is governed by a variety of open source licenses. It also ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. We are incredibly excited to announce the preview of a jointly developed solution between Redis Labs and Pivotal, which will deliver easy integration of Redis Enterprise as a native service on PKS. Together, this solution gives developers instant, self-service access to a cloud-native, stateful data service that is portable, operationally simple, and brings speed and simplicity to accelerate application development. But first, let’s take a look back at how we got here, and why we’re thrilled to launch this new solution. Why Redis in Containers? For years, Redis has been one of the most ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. Background With version 4.0, Redis exposed a new modules API that allows programmers to extend the database’s capabilities via new commands and data types. RediSearch uses this to allow full-text search of data stored in Redis. The data is saved inside Redis as a hash (a core Redis data type), and each data record is called a document. The document’s data is also indexed inside RediSearch’s internal data structures. It is possible to tell RediSearch not to store the data inside a hash, in which case the document will only be indexed inside RediSearch’s ... Read More
