5 Redis Use Cases - Redis Lab
So I was seeing a video in youtube about redis use case for a specific scenarios or a system design. So I am writing down my understanding of those use-cases
Learning:
The key redis use-cases are being used in the video
Caching
Queuing
Locking
Throttling
pubsub’ing
Summary:
They were explaining how they integrated redis in their system in multiple layer as explaining their's system workflow.
They
cached
the db queries in redis.Then when a user requests a query it
queues
in redis and a consumer consumed the request and start processing for the query.Before starting the query they
locked
the user request so that his further requests are not being processed by other consumers. If another consumer fails tolock
a query(means it is already being locked) theyre-queue
the query again with fibonacci series seconds.After they get a response from the db they generate the
cache
for the query and send back the request to redis by publishing(pubsub
) it and on the other side the web server was listening(pubsub
) for the response in the redis(it started listening right after it made the request to that service). When it gets back the result it responds back to the client.
