Advanced Redis

Course details

In this course, explore the advanced features that the Redis database server has to offer. Instructor Janani Ravi first shows how to install and optimize your Redis operations. She then explains how to run benchmarks on your Redis server to assess the performance of Redis operations. Next, she shows how to use RediSearch, which enables querying, secondary indexing, and full-text search for Redis. Finally, Janani explains how to query JSON structures with RedisJSON.
