Modern digital applications need to react quickly, run stably and be able to handle increasing user numbers without any problems. Redis is a high-performance storage solution that is designed to do just that: it stores frequently used data directly in the working memory, for example when loading user profiles, live data or recurring functions in an app.

This reduces the load on traditional databases, noticeably increases performance and creates a technical basis that works reliably even as usage increases. For companies, this means shorter loading times, more satisfied users and an infrastructure that can grow with them.

The simple key-value structure of the Redis database is particularly suitable for less complex data models that are mainly to be mapped in the database itself.

Why soxes uses a Redis database

Lightning-fast data access

Ideal for real-time applications and high user loads.
Simple data structure

Perfect for caching, sessions and fast lookups.
High scalability

Grows flexibly with the application.
System load reduction

Reduces load on the main database and improves overall performance.

Where did soxes use Redis?

When developing the Alarm Dispatcher application for TUS, soxes used such a database to store session data. In addition, the highly available cluster was used to manage various information about queues or devices. Thanks to the use of Redis Sentinel, continuous operation can be guaranteed even in the event of system failures.

What advantages does Redis offer compared to other databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL?

Redis offers significantly higher speed compared to relational databases, as it stores data in the working memory. It is particularly suitable for real-time applications.
What can I do if my Redis database slows down or unexpected performance problems occur?

Monitor server resources and Redis metrics, optimize queries and data structures and make sure there is enough RAM available. soxes can also analyze your systems and suggest concrete solutions.
What happens if Redis fails?

If Redis fails, your data or applications could be affected. To avoid failures, it is advisable to configure Redis with Redis Sentinel to ensure automatic failover and recovery. A cluster configuration can also help to increase availability.
How can I improve the performance of my Redis database in the long term?

Long-term performance can be improved through regular maintenance and optimization. Use suitable data structures and ensure that old and unused data is deleted regularly. You should also adapt the Redis configuration to the growing requirements of your application.
How do I integrate Redis with other systems in my application?

Redis can be easily integrated with other systems by using API clients for your programming language. This enables seamless communication between Redis and other parts of your application, such as web servers or backend services.
