Money! Money! Money! – How to Save it Good!
Avnet rolls out IBM’s RapidBuild Program with Redis Labs! Redis, as we know, is the world’s most popular in-memory NoSQL and rapidly becoming a default ingredient of most modern application stacks. Modern application architects use it to help their applications scale to humungous volumes of traffic at sub-millisecond latencies –with very little hardware. This blog is about saving even more money with IBM’s RapidBuild Program for POWER8 systems. Today, Avnet announced that it is the …
February 8th outage – post-mortem
On Monday February 8th 2016, at 17:45 UTC, we experienced a major outage in one of the Google Cloud Platform clusters that we employ in providing the Redis Cloud service. By 19:30 UTC we were able to bring the service back to over 95% of affected users, and had it completely recovered by 20:38 UTC. [.. ] Due to this outage, despite it being the first of kind for us, we've taken immediate steps to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
Connecting Spark and Redis: A Detailed Look
"I wanted to make sure that the results were stored so I could use them in later computations. Redis' Sorted Sets are a perfect match for the word-count pairs and would also allow me to query the data like I'm used to. It took only one line of Scala code to do that."
ZeroBrane Studio Plugin for Redis Lua Scripts
Just before Christmas, Salvatore Sanfilippo published the first release candidate for Redis v3.2. The upcoming v3.2 delivers new features (such as geo spatial indexes and cluster rebalancing) and many great improvements (including Matt Stancliff's Quick Lists and Oran Agra's SDS and Jemalloc optimizations). For this post, I'll focus on just one of these – the Redis Lua Debugger (LDB) – and also share a New Year's present from Redis Labs (spoiler). LDB is a mode …
3 Critical Points about Security
Over the recent weeks there's been an increase in the number of reports about NoSQL breaches in general, but also specifically in those relating to Redis. The latter is, in all likelihood, the aftermath of Salvatore Sanfilippo's blog post "A few things about Redis security." That particular post was only the spark that lit the fire – I'd argue that the seeds for the breaches were laid in the ground long ago. And they're still …

Salvatore Sanfilippo – Welcome to Redis Labs
I usually begin this type of post with a variation on the sentence "Today I am delighted to…" Today, however, these words aren’t filler — they truly are the best way to express that I am delighted to welcome Antirez (a.k.a Salvatore Sanfilippo), Redis' creator, to Redis Labs. You can read more about this development on Antirez's blog and in our press release, but here's another perspective – mine. I'm a Redis geek and if …

Rising NoSQL Star: Aerospike, Cassandra, Couchbase or Redis?

A Guy Walks Into a NoSQL Bar [Director's Cut]
Comparisons are as hard to do right as they are easy to do wrong and when the subjects of comparison are different the problem is only compounded. Therefore, when practicing comparative “advertising” I often feel that the results begotten should be interpreted in spirit rather be presented as numbers to quibble about. With that in mind, let me share a brief related story...

Redis RAM Ramifications – Part I
How much RAM does Redis need? If there's one most often repeated Redis question, it's this one. It's also one of the hardest to answer accurately because the answer depends on oh-so-many factors. In this post (and most likely a few upcoming ones as I do tend to ramble while I rumble and mumble)
