Automagically storing Python objects in Redis #Python #howto

Miss Manners and Waltzdb (~15 minutes to ponder)

“While durable_rules is a framework for complex event coordination, its linguistic abstraction is also suitable for solving business rules problems such as constraint propagation” – and this is just the first sentence!

Video Why the Redis community is awesome! (3:10 minutes to watch)

@ObjectRocket had recently released several polished video productions that were shot during RedisConf 2015. My 1st pick is, naturally, this one in which the first 90 seconds open with Chris Lalonde @lalonde_cal who thinks long and hard before answering, Matt Stancliff @mattsta emphasizing the importance of openness and Matt Barker @mbarker sharing his impressions of the community. The remainder is by Salvatore Sanfilippo @antirez.

By Dmitry Simonenko @pmwkaa is project whose home page, http://serenitydb.org/, describes it as “disk storage and real transactions under Redis compatible protocol”, boasts “support of Consistent Cursors, ACID transactions, Stored procedures, etc” and uses sophia (by the same author) as the underlying database. Phew.

Getting started with Celery and Redis #Python #howto

I believe there’s no such thing as too much details and it appears that Akshar Raaj @_akshar shares this belief and his article – a well organized structure that lays out everything you need to know about starting to use Celery.

Rapid Server Development With Koa.js, Redis, PM2 and ES6 Generators #NodeJS #howto

Oleksii/Alex Rudenko @orKoN spills the beans (is this still considered a passable pun in Node.js? I guess not) and provides a breakdown of how his tips server is built. Thoughtfully included is the starter app as well: https://github.com/60devs/koajs-starter-project.

Optimizing Redis Usage For Caching (2 minutes to read)

A quick reminder for some, a possible eye-opener for others: dedicated instances, tune persistence, remember the memory and practice intelligent caching. Word. Via Soren @sorentwo.

Speeding up Existing Apps with a Redis Cache #PHP #howto

…or you could just stick a Redis in front of your database and use it a as an unintelligent cache. Bruno Skvorc @bitfalls, the author, promises more features down line #CliffHanger

silvpol / redis_runner.lua #Lua #foss

Neat-O!!! Another way to debug Lua in Redis, or rather Redis in Lua, or maybe Lua in Redis in Lua. Whatever the case may be, Swav Swiac‘s works definitely strikes a chord with me.

Writing a Redis client in pure bash, part 1 #Bash #foss

Perhaps the best way to pick up a skill is to start practicing it and with Bash you can’t be bashful – Raymond Ranelli @RRanelli is bashing together a REPL for Redis.

Delay the inevitable with this handy collection of patterns for lazy deletion of BIG Redis objects – Hashes, Lists, Sets and Sorted Sets – from Tyson Tate @tyson via RedisGreen @redisgreen. And just in time because…

CLIQZ’s first major open source contribution: Keyvi, the key value index (10 minutes to read)

Some companies use open source databases and some build their own – CLIQZ @cliqz started as the first type and now belongs to the second with its #foss Keyvi project. Intended for high-read workloads, Keyvi offers fast access to highly compressed data, and uses “finite state transducer” technology (this FST, it is I suppose some kind of audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device?) to deliver the magic.
