Personal Redis learning sandbox

About

This repository is my personal playground for learning Redis. It isn't intended to be a production-ready project — it's a place for notes, experiments, small scripts, and example snippets to help me explore Redis concepts and patterns.

Goals

• Explore core Redis data structures and commands.
• Practice common caching patterns and eviction strategies.
• Try out pub/sub and Redis Streams for simple messaging.
• Experiment with persistence options and performance tuning.
• Keep short, focused examples and notes I can refer back to.

Getting started (local)

A quick way to run Redis locally using Docker:

• Start Redis:
  • docker run --name redis -p 6379:6379 -d redis:latest
• Connect with the CLI:
  • docker exec -it redis redis-cli
• Basic commands to try:
  • SET mykey "hello"
  • GET mykey
  • EXPIRE mykey 60 (set TTL)
  • PUBLISH mychannel "hi" (with a subscriber listening)

Notes / Conventions

• This is a personal learning repo: expect incomplete examples and frequent changes.
• Nothing here should be assumed production-ready.

Resources

• Official Redis documentation: https://redis.io/docs/
• Redis commands reference and tutorials available on the official site.
