Data & Cloud
An in-memory data store used for caching and fast key-value access.
Redis keeps data in memory as keys and structured values, which makes reads and writes fast enough to sit in front of a slower primary store.
I worked with Redis as part of a production Node and Express backend during my internship at Aude.ai.
I use it where a request needs data faster than a round trip to the primary database is worth.
A cache is only as useful as its invalidation strategy is clear.
Applied experience
I haven't published a project using Redis yet — it's something I use in work that isn't shareable, or that I'm still building.
