Build blazing-fast applications with the leading in-memory data store

Why Redis?

Redis is an in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. With sub-millisecond response times, Redis powers real-time applications at Twitter, GitHub, and Snapchat. Perfect for caching, session storage, and real-time analytics, Redis dramatically improves application performance.

Microsecond latency—Redis makes everything faster.
