Redis

Fastest data platform.
Open source, advanced key-value store.
Provides cloud and on-premise solutions for:
- Caching.
- Vector search.
- NoSQL databases.
Seamlessly fit into any tech stack.
"Protected mode" is turned off by default.
- For ease of use in dev env.
- If you expose the port outside of your host, it will be open without a password to anyone.
- Supplying a config file, in that file set a password.
- Learn more:
We use Redis Insight as our dashboard.
I use bitnami since it is well documented.
- It uses AOF persistence.
- NOTE: The @ is not supported for REDIS_PASSWORD.
- Note that Redis's default port number is 6379, but we can change it:
```
docker run --name redis -e REDIS_PORT_NUMBER=7000 -p 7000:7000 bitnami/redis:latest
```
In the healthcheck command for the Redis we are passing the password and the port that your Redis instance is using within the container:
1. To learn more about why our healthcheck command is using grep PONG read this Stackoverflow Q&A.
2. We need to prevent docker compose from parsing environment variables inside our test command, thus the reason we used $$ (ref).

Redis Insight

An ideal tool for developers who build with any Redis deployments to optimize their development process.
Let you visually browse and interact with data, take advantage of the advanced command line interface and diagnostic tools.
Log levels: error, warn, info, http, verbose, debug, silly.
