In this lesson, we will cover the basics of Redis and how to use it with Python. Redis is an in-memory key-value store that can be used for caching, real-time analytics, message queues, and more. We will cover how to install and configure Redis, and how to use it with Python.
Redis
In this lesson, we will cover:
Redis is an in-memory key-value store that can be used for caching, real-time analytics, message queues, and more. Redis stores data in memory, which makes it very fast, but also means that it is limited by the amount of available memory.
Redis data is organized into key-value pairs, where the key is a string and the value can be any Redis data type, such as a string, hash, list, set, or sorted set. Redis provides a rich set of commands for working with data, including commands for manipulating strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets, as well as more advanced commands for working with data structures such as bitmaps and hyperloglogs.
To install Redis, you can download it from the Redis website and follow the installation instructions for your operating system. Once Redis is installed, you can start the Redis server using the redis-server command. By default, Redis listens on port 6379, but you can change this in the Redis configuration file.
redis-server
To use Redis with Python, you can use the Redis Python library, which provides a Pythonic interface to Redis. Hereās an example of how to use Redis with Python:
import redis redis_client = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379) # Set a string value redis_client.set('mykey', 'myvalue') # Get a string value value = redis_client.get('mykey') # Delete a key redis_client.delete('mykey')
In this example, we create a Redis client using the redis.Redis method, which connects to the Redis server on localhost at port 6379. We then use the set method to set a string value for the key mykey, and the get method to retrieve the value. We also use the delete method to delete the key and its value.
After completing this lesson, you should be able to:
In this lesson, we covered the basics of Redis and how to use it with Python. We described Redis and its data model, and demonstrated how to install and configure Redis, and how to use Redis with Python using the Redis Python library. In the next lesson, we will cover Redis data types.
