In this meeting, the participants discuss the use of Redis as a key value storage system. Redis is popular and is available in all skill lines for a platform called Zeno. Unlike traditional databases with tables and records, Redis simplifies the process by allowing users to query any record from any table using structured query language. Redis stores data as strings, so complicated objects like JSON are stored as a string representation. It provides persistent storage in memory, making it faster compared to storage on disk. This feature is particularly beneficial for e-commerce use cases, such as updating a shopping cart in real-time. Redis also has a time-to-live (TTL) feature, allowing data to be stored for a specific period. Overall, Redis is a useful tool for quick and efficient data storage and retrieval.
