If you were in San Diego for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019, you probably already heard about the latest developments in the cloud-native ecosystem and the major updates coming in the next version of Kubernetes.

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Fredric Paul. Count-min sketch (also called CM sketch) is a probabilistic data structure that’s extremely useful once you grasp how it works and, more importantly, how to use it. Fortunately, CM sketch’s simple characteristics make it relatively easy for novices to understand (turns out many of my friends were unable to follow along with last month’s Top-K blog). CM sketch has been a Redis module for several years and was recently rewritten as part of the RedisBloom module v2.0. But before we dive into CM sketch, it is important to understand why you’d use any probabilistic ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Fredric Paul. Early on Tuesday, November 12, the Redis Labs DevOps team started to get bursts of alerts from our production clusters located in the Amazon Web Services eu-central region (Frankfurt, Germany). Upon further examination, they realized a significant outage was happening in AWS’ eu-central-1 data center, which was confirmed on the AWS status page, and eventually covered in the press: Screenshot of the AWS Status page on November 12, 2019. Cloud outages are not new to us. We have been running production Redis clusters since early 2013 and during that time we’ve experienced more than ... Read More

Those who love to type commands and those who like to interact with their data visually. OK, maybe the world doesn’t always need to be divided into two categories. Sometimes you want the best of both worlds. And now Redis gives you exactly that—you can continue to use Redis’ familiar command-line interface (CLI) and also choose to work with your data visually. At RedisConf 2019 earlier this year, we announced that we were acquiring RDBTools—a popular graphical user interface (GUI) ... Read More
