Redis (REmote DIctionary Server) is open-source, in-memory data store — coinníonn sé sonraí in RAM do rochtain an-tapa. Úsáidtear é mar cache, database, message broker, agus mar a lán eile, agus tá sé luachmhar do a bhealach (oibríochtaí faoi-mhilisecond) agus a struchtúir sonraí éagsúla.
In-memory = an-tapa
Redis stores data in RAM (memory), not on disk → access is EXTREMELY fast
(sub-millisecond) because RAM is orders of magnitude faster than disk.
→ This speed is Redis's defining characteristic and the reason it's so popular.
(It can persist to disk too, but data primarily lives in memory.)
