Why businesses use Redis
Redis makes applications faster by keeping frequently used data in memory, and keeps them reliable by managing background jobs and rate limits.
How Redis works
Data is held in memory rather than on disk, so reads and writes take microseconds. Applications store cached results, session data, and job queues there, while the main database remains the source of truth.
What it's used for
- 01Caching to speed up pages
- 02Background job queues
- 03Session storage
- 04Rate limiting and real-time counters
Benefits
- Extremely fast
- Reduces database load
- Simple to use
- Supports real-time features
