Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Tague Griffith. Over 1,200 Redis enthusiasts took over Pier 27 on the San Francisco waterfront for three days of training, talks and fun at RedisConf18.  The theme of this year’s conference was “Everywhere” and with over 60 breakout sessions across six concurrent tracks, Redis really was everywhere. San Francisco’s Landmark Transamerica Building This year RedisConf moved to the beautiful Pier 27 with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, both bridges and several iconic San Francisco landmarks. Pier 27 is the San Francisco Cruise Terminal originally built as a staging site for the 2013 America’s Cup ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Sandro Pasquali. In this article you’re going to learn how to perform bitwise operations on Redis keys, as well as setting, getting and comparing binary values. To begin, let’s think about how “flipping bits” can be a useful way of storing information in general, and then how we can execute binary operation with Redis. Take the following example: there are 30 Major League Baseball teams, and each team plays 162 games per year. There are 2430 total games played each year. These games are played over roughly six months. We know a month never has more ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Miguel Allende. We are FreeWheel, a SaaS provider that services media agencies globally. Our platform specialises in Advertising Campaign workflows that include planning, procurement and performance analysis. Our system is based on a microservices architecture. The ecosystem of products that support the workflow has had to evolve significantly over the last 15 to 20 years in terms of tech stack and infrastructure. Part of that evolution was ensuring a robust and quick-caching mechanism to support shared data storage within our ecosystem and across environments. A few years ago, our system’s caching mechanism was a simple per-server-per-application ... Read More

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: 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
