Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Time Series DBMS and big data platform

A secure RDBMS, designed for easy portability from Oracle

Primary database model

Document store

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
