Performs much better than traditional databases, integrates well and lot of learning resources available

It improved the performance. For example, data structures like hashmaps in Redis make it a very fast database – much faster than traditional SQL databases. It can perform at significantly higher speeds. Latencies are very low. Our primary focus wasn't on saving money but on improving performance for that specific feature. So, performance has been the key improvement. Every calculation happened in real time. It improved the performance 10X. In our company, we have limited resources, so we can't manage the database ourselves. We use services from Azure for that. So, Redis integrates well with those services. We use Azure Cache for Redis.

Overview

Azure Cache for Redis provides an in-memory data store based on the open-source software Redis. When used as a cache, Redis improves the performance and scalability of systems that rely heavily on backend data-stores. Performance is improved by copying frequently accessed data to fast storage located close to the application. With Azure Cache for Redis, this fast storage is located in-memory instead of being loaded from disk by a database.

Azure Cache for Redis can be used as an in-memory data structure store, a distributed non-relational database, and a message broker. Application performance is improved by taking advantage of the low-latency, high-throughput performance of the Redis engine.

Azure Cache for Redis provides access to a secure, dedicated Redis cache. Azure Cache for Redis is managed by Microsoft, hosted within Azure, and accessible to any application within or outside of Azure.

Redis is a high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-use caching solution that improves application performance. It is also used for session management, real-time analytics, and as a message broker.

Redis's valuable features include its ability to handle large amounts of data quickly, its simplicity and straightforward setup process, and its support for various data structures, providing flexibility for different use cases.
