Description
By, Nick Quaranto Redis is an "advanced key-value store" but really, it's much more than that. Redis goes above and beyond GET and SET, and it's time for you to learn how that can help you write faster Ruby apps. We'll explore the rest that Redis has to offer, such as sorted sets, publish/subscribe, transactions, and more with real-world use cases of each.
