Building High Performance Applications with Microsoft Azure and Redis Labs: Caching and Beyond
Applications today require a total response time of 100 milliseconds. In order to achieve this, your database must be able to perform at sub-millisecond response times. There is only one database to meet this new digital age demand with the least resources, Redis.
Why Redis? As one of the top 3 databases chosen by developers, Redis gained popularity as the most high-performing caching solution on the market. Today, it’s capabilities reach far beyond caching, including real-time analytics, high-speed transactions, a message broker, job queue management and more. As the fastest database on the market today, Redis also has many attractive data types and commands for powering modern applications.
