13 Advantages And Disadvantages of Redis?

13 Advantages And Disadvantages of Redis? - Redis is a distributed key-value store that is available for free to anyone who wants to use it. Redis is primarily supported financially by the business known as Redis Labs. This provides downloadable versions of the software that can be purchased online. Redis is an acronym for Remote Dictionary Server and is a data storage system that is designed to be very quick. As a database management system, Redis provides both an in-memory database as well as a key-value store for its users. Organizations whose data needs to be written and queried quickly are the perfect candidates for this solution (for example, in caching, chat and messaging, game leaderboards, session storage, and live streaming)
