Faster websites and APIs
Caching the slow parts so pages load quickly, even when traffic spikes.
Database
Redis
An in-memory data store that makes pages and APIs faster and keeps background work moving.
What is Redis?
Redis keeps data in memory, so reads and writes take a fraction of a millisecond. It offers simple structures such as strings, lists, sets and hashes.
We use it beside a main database: to cache expensive pages and queries, to hold sessions, to limit request rates, and to queue work such as emails and imports so it runs in the background.
Why Choose Redis?
In-memory speed
Reads from memory take load off the main database.
Smooth under load
Caching keeps pages quick during busy periods.
Reliable background work
Queues let slow tasks run without holding up users.
Rate limiting
Protects forms and APIs from abuse.
Common Use Cases
Redis is commonly used for:
Use cases
- Page and API caching
- Session storage
- Rate limiting
- Background job queues
- Real-time counters and leaderboards
Redis Solutions We Can Implement
Background job queues
Emails, imports and reports processed reliably outside the request.
Abuse protection
Rate limits on sign-in, contact forms and public APIs.
