Redis Core

Teaches you Redis data modeling fundamentals: picking the right structure for your access pattern and naming keys consistently. Covers when to use Hash versus JSON for objects, why serialized strings are usually a mistake, and the colon-separated naming convention that keeps large keyspaces maintainable. Most useful when you're starting a new Redis-backed feature or cleaning up a messy keyspace where half the keys are camelCase URLs and the other half are random prefixes. The guidance is opinionated but practical, with a clear decision table and real anti-patterns called out. Written by Redis, Inc., so it reflects current best practices rather than outdated Stack Overflow answers.

Redis Core

Foundational guidance for modeling data in Redis. Covers data-type selection and key-name conventions — the two decisions that most directly drive memory, performance, and maintainability.
