Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Rob Schauble. Internet of Things (IoT) solutions present a unique challenge for any database. There’s increasingly large and fast data coming from a very broad spectrum of IoT devices, coupled with critical latency requirements. Given this, the data’s processing and analysis must increasingly be handled at the network edge, close to the sensors, actuators and other IoT devices. We no longer have the luxury of being able to crunch IoT data in a cloud environment, where there is seemingly limitless compute and storage resources, because the latency would be unacceptable. Thankfully, there are powerful database and ... Read More

Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, SalesForce, etc. are popular examples of multi-tenancy. Redis Enterprise Cloud, offered by Redis Labs, is also a multi-tenant service with over 500,000 Redis databases sharing the Redis Cloud platform. Redis Enterprise software allows you to create such a multi-tenant environment on-premises or in any infrastructure you control. But why would you need such an environment? If your organization develops a series of in-house applications and microservices, then a multi-tenant environment can save you time and money. Application ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Tague Griffith. Enabling encrypted connections on a server is a bit like weaving a magic spell: nothing works until you get the incantations exactly right, but once you do, everything clicks into place and you have established a secure connection to your server. Configuring encryption can get even more arcane when you also use cryptography to authenticate clients on connection. Enabling secure connections to a server should be a part of every developer’s repertoire, so in this post we will walk you through an easy three-step process to turn on, test and configure encrypted connections between ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. One of the key announcements at RedisConf was the aggregation engine for RediSearch (version 1.1.0). Aggregations are an incredibly powerful feature for a real-time search engine like RediSearch. They allow for data to not only be queried, but summarized mathematically to gain analytical insight. RediSearch aggregations come with the standard toolkit of reducers: Counts Sums Minimum Maximum Standard Deviation Quantile Conceptually, aggregations are comprised of a pipeline of operations. Each operation can be used in any logical order and can be repeated. The basic operations are: Group & Reduce Sort Transform (Apply) Limit Filter ... Read More
