DescriptionAn embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.DBMS for storing time series, events and metricsA DBMS designed for efficient storage of vector data and vector similarity searchesA relational database management system that stores data in columnsPopular 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.
