Redis Fundamentals: 4 Hands-On Labs on Persistence, Data Structures, and BLPOP

Ready to dive into the world of fast, in-memory data storage? Redis is the secret weapon behind high-performance applications, from caching to real-time analytics. But reading about it isn't enough—you need to do it. That's why we built the ultimate Redis learning path, designed specifically for beginners. Forget passive videos! Our path offers a structured roadmap to master Redis, moving from basic data structures right up to advanced caching strategies. Get ready for practical, hands-on experience in a dedicated Redis playground. Let's start building your expertise today!

Persistence and Simple Configuration in Redis

Persistence and Simple Configuration in Redis

Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 20 minutes

In this lab, we will explore how to manage Redis configuration and persistence. We'll use CONFIG GET to view configuration, CONFIG SET to modify parameters, and SAVE and BGSAVE to save data to disk. This provides a comprehensive understanding of data persistence in Redis.

Basic Data Management in Redis

Basic Data Management in Redis

Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 20 minutes

In this lab, you will explore basic data management techniques in Redis. You'll begin by learning how to increment and decrement numerical values using the atomic INCR and DECR commands, suitable for counters and rate limiters. You'll connect to the Redis server using redis-cli, set initial values, and then increment and decrement them, verifying the results with the GET command. Furthermore, you will learn how to retrieve all keys stored in Redis using the KEYS command.
