About this ebook

This book is for developers who are already proficient in programming and capable of designing systems using traditional databases, but are new to Redis. It is assumed that you understand the basics of Redis and are familiar with the various data structures. You are also expected to be proficient in one or more programming languages through which you want to use Redis.

Ratings and reviews

Applied Design Patterns is a big title for a small book. The book is an interesting one but not that deep, when thinking of Design Patterns you think of Martin Fowler books, where the author experience speaks of itself, when reading a book we try to absorb that accumulated experience. There were some chapters very interesting to read like the search and autocomplete, but still very simplified and not really deep, I've read this book after reading Redis In Action, in which the author is showing more deep knowledge specifically when writing the backend jobs to clean the orphan keys. This book doesn't even point to such problem with denormalized KV stores. Redis In Action is very tied to Python code which makes it no appealing to wide range of audience. It's good for fresh students who are looking for the first exposure to KV Stores bu not really useful for real world scenarios. I would suggest changing the title to something like: Introduction To Redis by examples
