[Hidden-tech] Learning Redis

[Alex Kalish]

Hey Alan,

Redis tends to be a pretty easy component to learn and use.  To get
started, I would suggest installing it locally.  If you have a Mac, it's
easy to get via Homebrew.  Then just jump into the CLI and start getting
and setting values.  Command docs are here <https://redis.io/commands>.
Their docs in general are usually pretty great.  If you are using this with
a Python app, I would be blown away if there wasn't an easy to use client
library.  As far as AWS goes, I would suggest using ElastiCache, which can
be powered by hosted/managed Redis nodes.  This way, no need to run the
service yourself.

Does that help at all?

Cheers,
Alex
