Redis Essential Training

Course details

If you’re interested in learning more about how to use Redis, you couldn’t have picked a more appropriate time. Knowing how to use the open-source, in-memory database is quickly becoming a highly sought-after skill. In this course, instructor Fernando Doglio covers the core concepts and basic functionality of Redis for data management, data processing, and more.

Learn the fundamentals to get up and running quickly and start working with data structures on your own. Explore hashes, lists and sets, key naming strategies, and other ways to read and represent data, including pub/sub, message buses, streams, and keyspace notifications. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to know to deploy Redis as a database, a cache, a message broker, or a streaming engine.
