Simplifying Drupal's Power with Redis
Many Drupal setups use databases like MySQL, MariaDB, or Postgres for storing data, giving Drupal the flexibility to model content and create relationships between different content types, like blog posts and tags. In a blog post by Lucio Waßill titled "Elevating Drupal's Capabilities with Redis for Advanced Data Management," discover how Redis, usually known for caching, can be used for more than just that in Drupal projects.
In big Drupal projects, folks often use in-memory databases like Memcache or Redis for caching and other key/value data, keeping the application database compact and speeding up reading and writing for caching. Redis, being a NoSQL database, goes beyond caching. It's not just a simple key-value store; it also has different data structures like strings, hashes, and lists. With its memory storage, it brings speed, and the Pub/Sub messaging system makes it handy for real-time messaging applications.
