DescriptionFlash-optimized In-memory NoSQL DatabaseNatively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clusteringHigh performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented TransactionsEmbeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string valuesPopular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments infoRedis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
