Redis
A tool that speeds up software by keeping frequently opened pages and information ready.
Why do we use it?
Recalculating the same information from the database every time a page opens slows software down. Redis keeps frequently requested information ready, so pages keep loading fast as the number of visitors grows.
What does it bring to your project?
Pages load fast even at busy times
The load on the database goes down
Time-consuming jobs run in the background, so users don't wait
The site doesn't slow down on sale days
Redis is a free tool that keeps information in memory that can be read very quickly. It's used alongside the database, not instead of it.
For example, on an e-commerce site, the list of best-selling products on the home page isn't recalculated for every visitor; it's calculated once and kept in Redis. That's why the site doesn't slow down on sale days.
We also use it to queue up time-consuming jobs like sending emails, preparing reports or issuing invoices. The user carries on without waiting for these jobs to finish; they're completed in the background.
Not every project needs it. We add it to software with high visitor numbers or a lot of background work.
