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?
