Blistering data with REDIS

by Rishi Raj Singh (speaking)

Section
Web Development
Technical level
Intermediate

Objective

The session will give developers a practical way on how REDIS can be used alongside database systems for faster data read-write.

Their are applications in which the same data has to be shown to different users again and again. So, calls to database can be a very-expensive process. Here, REDIS helps to access data much faster.

Description

The session give a basic overview of what REDIS is and how it can be used with python frameworks.

A comparison between the time taken for data-access using traditional databases and REDIS will be shown with practical examples.

Some very basic but very useful REDIS commands will be taught.
Some more practical examples of where and how REDIS can be used.

Requirements

Participants may bring laptop installed with:
python 2.7+
REDIS (server)
redis-py (python-library)
if they want to try.

Speaker bio

I am a 3rd year under-graduate student pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science from IIIT-H.
I have been using REDIS for an online-social site ApniStreet for building their feed, chat, tags, location and other systems.
I have been studying a lot on how application can be scaled to provide faster data to the users.

    Please elaborate more on "Some very basic but very useful REDIS commands will be taught./ Some more practical examples of where and how REDIS can be used." Additionally, if the participants can try out examples before/after your session (should it be selected), please provide links to that as well.

    Redis, not REDIS.
