Hello there
I'm a complete newbie in Redis and not quite sure how to get Realtime data from RedisJSON. I'm building something that requires realtime data and I'm not sure how to implement this on Redis. I don't know if Redis has built-in support for this or none, because if so, I think I need to implement the whole thing via WebSockets. I tried searching but I can't find something that helps. I'm just curious, how can I make RedisJSON to become realtime (like Firebase Firestore)?
EDIT:
After some research, I noticed that there's no in-built support for this by Redis (please tell me if I'm wrong) and you have to implement it yourself via WebSockets? Is that right?
If so, I think this further increases development time, so instead I'm thinking of using this dependency I found in npmjs: @space-kit/redis-realtime-node

Correct. Like nearly all databases, Redis does not have zero-trust capabilities like Firebase does. There needs to be a trusted service in between Redis and untrusted clients.
