• Redis can deliver sub-millisecond response times enabling millions of requests per second for real-time applications.
• A typical Redis instance running on a low end, untuned box usually provides good enough performance for most applications.
• Being single-threaded, Redis favors fast CPUs with large caches and not many cores.
• Redis employs a primary-replica architecture and supports asynchronous replication where data can be replicated to multiple replica servers.

• Redis supports various data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes with radius queries and streams.
• It has built-in replication, LRU eviction and different levels of on-disk persistence.
• Other features include:
  • Transactions
  • Pub/Sub
  • Lua scripting
  • Keys with a limited time-to-live

• Redis supports atomic operations on data types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing an element to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set.
• It works with an in-memory dataset that can persists by dumping the dataset to disk.
• All Redis data resides in-memory, in contrast to databases that store data on disk or SSDs.
• By eliminating the need to access disks, in-memory data stores such as Redis avoid seek time delays and can access data in microseconds.
• The redis syslog offers a very good logging facility with all the necessary information to run daily or debug
