Ezra Zygmuntowicz will come and speak to us all about Redis.

Redis: a data structure server

Redis is a key value store with a twist, keys and values can be strings but values can also be lists, sets and sorted sets. This allows for a much higher level of control when thinking about laying out your data compared to other key value stores. Redis has many use cases that can help you scale our your web applications. Redis stands for REmote DIctionary Server and also stands for REDISstribute your load. We will explore the many use cases for redis, especially looking at how using redis along side of mysql can help you scale your mysql setup by taking load for stats and leaderboard type data in redis rather then in mysql.
