Redis is famously fast — millions of operations per second, in-memory performance, and a simple design that powers caching, session stores, queues, real-time systems, and more.
This video doesn’t question Redis’ strengths.
Instead, it explores why Redis is so fast, and the engineering tradeoffs that make that speed possible.
From in-memory storage and simple protocols to single-threaded execution and optimized data structures, we break down the design choices behind Redis’ performance — and what each of those choices gives you, and what they take away.
If you enjoy understanding technology through the tradeoffs that shape it, this video is for you.
