Redis AI Challenge: Beyond the Cache

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Beyond the Cache.

What I Built

FarmLive is a real-time Farm Management System designed for modern agriculture. It helps farmers track tractor and machine activity, record farm-related expenses, and view work logs by date and customer. It’s a full-stack solution built using React, Node.js, and Redis Cloud.

The project showcases how Redis can serve as the primary database, enabling fast access, flexible storage, and real-time updates — all essential for modern, connected agricultural tools.

How I Used Redis 8

We used Redis as more than a cache – it’s the primary database powering the entire backend. Here’s how Redis 8 is integrated in FarmLive:

🌾 Primary Data Storage: All farm logs, user details, and transactions are stored directly in Redis using hashes.
📡 Real-Time Streams: Live machinery activity (like tractor usage) can be tracked using Redis Streams for real-time updates.
🔍 Search & Filtering: Redis’s full-text search capabilities enable fast lookups by farmer name, tractor ID, or date.
📬 Pub/Sub Events: Notifications for events like new logs or completed tasks are handled with Redis Pub/Sub.

This setup enables high-speed, low-latency operations without relying on traditional SQL or slow NoSQL layers.
