Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. How to build the right data strategy for your cloud native applications Many organizations are making the move to cloud-native platforms as part of their strategy for digital transformation. This allows them to deliver faster, user-friendly applications with greater agility. However, the architecture of the data behind a cloud-native transformation is often ignored, mostly because very few definitive guidelines or patterns exist today. Given that data is the information currency of every organization, how do you avoid common data mistakes and gain valuable insight from your data? We recently discussed these topics during a ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. The world of microservices is an exciting place where we are witnessing fast-paced, frequent, meaningful advances. One of the most significant recent steps forward in the OpenShift/Kubernetes ecosystem was the introduction of Operator-based deployments, which we touched on in a recent blog post. In this blog we describe how to simplify the installation process for more complex applications, use cases and stateful apps using Redis Enterprise Operator packaging and deployment. Here is a step-by-step overview of the process. Requirements: Before you get started, make sure you have: An OpenShift cluster installed with at least ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Aviad Abutbul. Today we’re introducing two-factor authentication (2FA) for Redis Enterprise, aimed at strengthening overall security and preventing unauthorized access. This enhancement can help protect your Redis Labs account and eliminate unauthorized access. While this setting is optional, we strongly recommend implementing it. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to enable 2-factor authentication: Setting up 2FA on your Redis Labs account Log into your account, click on the top right menu button and navigate to your user profile by clicking on your name at the bottom of the right navigation pane: 2) In your user ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Keren Ouaknine. Background Hazelcast has published two benchmarks comparing its system against the Redis open source database: The first (released on May 20, 2016) unfairly compared four standalone instances of open source Redis 3.0.7 running over the network with a Hazelcast IMDG 3.6 4-node cluster running in a near-cache mode. The second (released on April 4, 2017) compared Redis open source cluster version 3.2.8 (with 48 master and 48 slave instances running over a 3-node cluster) with a Hazelcast IMDG 3.8 3-node cluster, both running over the network. Recently, multiple prospects and customers have asked us ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Vick Kelkar. Over the last few months our team has been busy working on deploying Redis Enterprise on Kubernetes. Our journey started with writing a simple controller for the Kubernetes release of Redis Enterprise. A few months later, we introduced Helm Chart support, and over the last couple of months, we have been writing an operator for our Kubernetes release. Through this blog post, I would like to present the principles we used for deploying the Kubernetes release of Redis Enterprise on a Pivotal Container Service®  cluster. Why PKS? It is imperative to manage containerized microservices ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. It’s always exciting when a new version of RediSearch comes out—we just released version 1.4 (yes, we skipped 1.3 to align with a new versioning methodology). This new version has two key features which add quite a bit of smarts to querying: Spell Check & Custom Dictionaries Phonetic (sound-alike) Matching Spell Check Let’s first take a look at spell check. Everyone knows what spell check is from a broad perspective, but let’s examine how it works in a search engine context. It’s best to think of it as a primitive that would power a ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Yiftach Shoolman. Since the recent licensing change for our Redis modules, there’s been a lot of confusion and misinformation circulating about the implications of those changes. We want to address your questions and be crystal clear: the license for open source Redis was never changed. It is BSD and will always remain BSD. So what has changed? We recently did change the license for Redis modules developed by Redis Labs from AGPL to Apache v2.0 modified with Commons Clause. For those of you who are not familiar with Redis modules – these are add-ons on top ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Vick Kelkar. Earlier this year, we introduced a Helm Chart for the Redis Enterprise Kubernetes release. The Redis Enterprise release deploys and maintains resources needed to run a Redis Enterprise cluster within a Kubernetes cluster. In the earlier release we wrote our own service manager that publishes Redis database endpoints in the Kubernetes service catalog. Initially, we thought that having a service manager, readiness probes and Kubernetes secrets was sufficient to manage the lifecycle of the Redis Enterprise cluster. However, we soon realized that there is a better and kube-native way of managing the lifecycle of ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Tague Griffith. For three years running we’ve hosted Redis Day Tel Aviv, an opportunity for the developer community to take the stage and share their stories about using Redis. This year we’re expanding Redis Day to include Redis Day London. Our lineup for Redis Day London includes a number of great speakers from the community— both end users and contributors to Redis will take the stage to share their Redis stories. To give you a taste of the event, today we announced a few speakers from the program: Tim will tell the story of how Armakuni ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. TLDR: We’ve been developing a graph database that transforms queries into linear algebra problems, and the result is an architecture that can perform many standard operations on millions of elements in sub-second time. Nearly two years after starting development, we reached a major milestone with the release of RedisGraph v1.0 today. RedisGraph is a graph database architecture implemented as a Redis module, using GraphBLAS sparse matrices for internal data representation and linear algebra for query execution. It is implemented purely in C, and has been tested on Linux and OS X distros. We are ... Read More
