Redis, which stands for Remote Dictionary Server, is an open-source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. You can use strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indices, and streams.

A Redis database delivers sub-millisecond response times, enabling applications in gaming, ad-tech, health care, financial services, and IoT to handle millions of requests per second.

In comparison with other key-value data stores that offer limited data structures, Redis offers a wide variety of data structures to suit your application. Examples of Redis data types are:

• Strings – up to 512MB of text or binary data
• Lists – strings arranged in the order in which they were added
• Sets – unordered collections of strings with the ability to intersect, union, and compare to other Set types
• Sorted Sets – sets sorted by a value
• Hashes – data structures that store a list of values and fields
• Bitmaps – a type of data that supports bit-level operations
• HyperLogLogs – a probabilistic data structure for estimating the unique items in a dataset
• Streams – logging data structure Message queue
• Geospatial – entries based on longitude, latitude & nearby
