I think this video missed to talk about the very important fact that Redis has a limited memory space and depending of its configuration, when full, it will erase data. For example, when using as a Session "storage", the default configuration would make it so that in conjunction with TTL, the older/inactive sessions will be destroyed to make place for the new ones, effectively acting like a FIFO. So you have to carefully calculate the average size of your session's data and divide the available Redis space by it to obtain the theorical number of possible concurrent sessions and plan accordingly.

Another very nice overview video - thank you. And thank you for mentioning the "thundering herd" effect at 1:45. Over the years I've been surprised by how often this issue arises in systems built by people who should know better. And of course this is not just related to Redis.

[@Alex-bc3xe]

You actually found the best recipe for making videos great with you explanations combined.

[@MarcoLenzo]

I really enjoyed this overview. Didn't know about the rate limiter use case. Now I'm eager to try it out.

[@deefdragon]

I use redis allong with the consistent hashing that was discussed in an earlier video to create a work division system for my persistent jobs.

[@sethamballa9428]

You are one of the best teachers on youtube for this kind of stuff. The animations are also super helpful to understand the content. I think that if you enunciate your words a bit more, itd take your video quality to another level

[@Tolmachovtv]

Thank you for such short, clear and easy to understand video

You’re the best. Thanks to share this amazing content with us.

Amazing work! Don't give up, you'll come through happier and stronger soon. Enjoy your time with the family. Looking forward to March 10th! That's when the course comes out right?

A quick and understandable explanation, as always. Thanks.

Thx! As always the best explanation and samples!

[@houssemchr1539]

Nice explanation thanks, I wonder how make the video and which tools do use

[@uokesita]

@ByteByteGo thank you for the video. I have a small complaint. Making the graphs bigger over time, makes me dizzy to the point I can't read them (I have to pause the video to read them), maybe this is just me. Everything else is great, love your explanations.

[@WomboBraker]

you are golden, thank you so much

I use Redis as a replacement for Elasticsearch. However it's full text search capability has a limitation/quirk.

[@markzuckerbread1865]

A coworker of mine uses it to compliment Elasticsearch, in cases where certain shards get more hits than others, have not tried it myself but it sounds sensible for dealing with usage spikes.

[@Ayush_kumar123]

Very Helpful.

Thanks, Sahn for yet again a great video. Out of curiosity though, I am wondering what tools and techniques you use to create these smooth animations for your videos. I have a KZbin channel of my own and I would like to incorporate these as well. Thanks.

[@fmictsang8874]

In the rate limiter use case, would the rejected request retries certain times until the queue is available or would the server simply return rejected response?

Hello, excellent video, a question about what tool you use to create these types of very dynamic presentations. Thank you

I've used it for phone number validation and for a call center app to store the priorities of agents

[@pjf7044]

How

[@brucewayne2480]

@@pjf7044 I've used sorted liste , each agent has a score depending on how much he waited and his performance after each call you update his score, and whenever you have a request for that call you pick the agent in the top of the list

very nice overview video, thank you

[@FinlayDaG33k]

Redis is always really nice to use but I miss one feature and that is multi-tenancy. It's always kind of a pain (and kind of a waste imo) that I have to use and maintain 1 redis instance per app (or multiple when using replication) instead of setting up 1 cluster, giving each app their own space (with no access to the spaces of other apps) and calling it a day.

[@dejangegic]

I think that can be coded in pretty easily. You can use ":" to separate tenants. Just make the first part of the key tenant specific in your backend

[@user-fq4pc7fm2z]

why you didn`t mentioned pub/sub case?

[@joeb6705]

"distributes lock" is misspelled log in the chapter names

[@massimotin]

Probably my bad, but why (minute 2:15 and later) you speak about stateless, if you are storing and managing the session id ? It should be stateful ? Thanks (if I am wrong please tell me).

[@massimotin]

Ah ok probably the server are stateless, but using Redis to make them statefull ;-)

[@t4pusd]

At timestamp 1:54 is it "stateless" or "statefull" web service?

[@gcasar]

stateless. redis is used to hold the state, enabling applications to hold zero state themselves directly

[@t4pusd]

@@gcasar Thanks. That totally makes sense now that u explained. But technically the server + redis as a whole is providing statefull web service. Am i right?

[@gcasar]

yes. the upshot is that you can scale your state and processing separately and reason about processing in a much more straightforward manner

[@siarheikaravai]

Why are we talking about sessions for a stateless server? Stateful servers might use sessions

[@O0marO]

BBC is using Redis as event bus interestingly enough.

[@johnvick8861]

[@emreener]

Its time to update this video as how to migrate to Valkey, Garnet or KeyDB as Redis no longer open source

[@danielschmider5069]

How much slower is it to use redis, rather than literally storing the variable in the language itself?

[@manju4ever222]

What if you want multiple systems to access the same result (which might have expensive query running behind) ?

[@jonathangamble]

RedisGraph can replace your whole database
