Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Priya Balakrishnan. Redis on Flash with Intel® persistent memory based on 3D Xpoint™ NVDIMM — more data per server and better performance than ever before! It’s amazing to think that in the last 50-60 years, the tech industry has only produced around 6-7 classes of memory technology. Even so, each of those memory classes brought different attributes to the way we store and retrieve data. From RAM in the early days to SRAM, DRAM, NAND Flash, and now to solid-state drives (SSD) and NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express), we’ve seen significant improvements to the speed, density, and ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Rahul Marigowda. Redis is a simple, yet powerful in-memory database platform with use cases ranging from session management, queues and pub/sub to general-purpose cache. With its persistence and in-memory replication capabilities, Redis Enterprise is also used as a primary datastore. As a freelancer, I frequently use Redis to overcome unique problems. In one project, our use case was simple: I wanted to replicate the contents of a file system partition with a fixed, well-defined structure: at the root of the file system we had a fixed set of directories, each with more than a million files ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Vick Kelkar. This tutorial will show you how to easily set up a Kubernetes cluster on a public cloud using a tool called “Kops.” This post is a complement to our Kubernetes webinar, in which we explained the basic Kubernetes primitives, and our previous blog posts about Redis Enterprise Service and local Kubernetes development. For this tutorial, we will use the latest publicly available container image of Redis Enterprise Software. You can read about the high performance, in-memory Redis Enterprise 5.0.2 software release here. What is Kops? Kops stands for “Kubernetes Operations” and is an official ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Paz Yanover. We, at Redis Labs, are happy to announce the general availability of Redis Enterprise 5.0.2, the latest version of our high performance in-memory database platform. This new version is now available with each of our deployment options: Redis Enterprise Cloud (RC) – Fully managed, serverless and hosted Redis Enterprise database-as-a-service on major public clouds. Redis Enterprise VPC (RV) – Fully managed Redis Enterprise database-as-a-service in your virtual private cloud within major public clouds.

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Baptiste Leterrier. First a little bit about us: created in 2011, Silkke strives to create animated 3D avatars of unsurpassed quality that are usable in various applications, virtual universes and compatible internet websites. Our mission is to create a human element in digital platforms, integrating with various brands to bring them closer to their customers by offering them a unique, personalized experience. Managing our RabbitMQ queue content Creating an avatar requires several tasks, from the initial scan of the person to the 3D life-like clone. There are four separate steps involved in the scanning process, and ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Harish Doddi. Machine Learning is at the core of many modern systems today. Delivering more precise predictions and recommendations can make the difference between gaining or losing new customers and revenue. Delivering real-time predictions for mission-critical applications with low latency while also performing online learning, composite modeling and constant experimentation requires a powerful infrastructure. Building this pipeline on your own can be extremely challenging, but combining the Datatron and Redis Labs platforms simplifies powerful online learning and productionizing machine learning. Datatron Platform Data scientists use Datatron Enterprise to easily develop and manage Machine Learning (ML) and ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. On March 8th, Imperva published a blog post about a new cryptojacking attack that incorporates Redis. From an engineering perspective, this attack isn’t so much a marvel as a complicated Rube Goldberg machine that happens to have Redis as one of the cogs. Good news though: If you’ve followed even the most basic configuration and security best practices, this won’t affect you. Redis Enterprise is completely impervious to this attack. The Imperva blog post does a good job of explaining the exploit, so I won’t “reinvent the wheel” here, but I will briefly outline ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Vick Kelkar. Background on Kubernetes Containerization enables development teams to move fast, deploy software efficiently and operate at scale. Kubernetes provides automated container orchestration and the management of containers in a highly available, distributed environment. The platform handles scaling, configuration and deployment of new versions of images and simplifies application deployment and management. At Redis Labs, we are actively developing a Kubernetes-based deployment built on Redis Enterprise 5.x. What to expect from this article In previous blog posts, I talked about Kubernetes primitives and local Kubernetes development. In this post I’ll walk you through the simple ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Priya Balakrishnan. Over the course of the last month, we surveyed 130 customers using a third-party validation service called TechValidate. Our goal was to better understand how organizations are using Redis Enterprise and we were honored and humbled by what our customers had to say. In fact, nearly 80% of respondents said they intend to increase their usage of Redis Enterprise in order to serve growing business needs. We’d like to thank all our customers who responded to the survey. We can’t post all the results here but I’ve cherry-picked some of our favorite findings that describe ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Miguel Allende.   Golang or Go (https://golang.org/) and Redis have a lot in common. Go is fast and simple. It’s a great tool for prototyping things, and has the added benefit of really fast execution with little memory. Similarly, Redis is simple, persistent and benchmarked as the fastest in-memory database. Developers are always looking to improve performance, but often must increase complexity to achieve it. This is not the case with Redis and Go,  and that’s why both are quickly becoming the most popular open source languages and databases respectively. Redis was named the most loved ... Read More
