A Letter About Everything Redis |
Issue #41 |
Editor’s NoteIs a newsletter without news really a newsletter, or is it just a letter (poll request)? If it’s just a letter then does making news up in it makes it back into a newsletter? What about mobile-friendliness – is a [news]letter less informative if it is unresponsive (@Google)? BITOPS >> 1 = @Microsoft absorbs it’s open source unit [1] @OpenAtMicrosoft, whose first outing was the Redis fork [2] on April 2012. The Redis fork for Windows was always a kind of a distant relative, but it does have a loyal following and impressive successes (i.e.g. #namedroppings and Azure Redis Cache). It is still unclear what this move actually means for the “other” Redis open source users, but I know that the core Redis community will accept them gladly into the fold 🙂 >> 10 = In the recent @RailsConf keynote it was made known by David Heinemeier Hansson @dhh that ActionCable will be Redis-based in #Ruby5. Some flak is expected, including the usual rants mixed with right facts, but anyone can extend ActionCable to use whatever she/he wishes, so why waste time complaining [1]? I’ve always felt that one of the nicer examples for synergy is what the Three Rs, #Redis #Ruby #Rails (or maybe it is the #TRRRio, #TRRRiangle or #TRRRIfecta), had going, so this is definitely a great trrriple boon IMO.

Tools & DevelopmentClustering Redis for Magento Caching#Magento #howto Can’t understand how I missed this one up until now – so practical and applicable in general: Redis, Sentinel, twemproxy/nutcracker, twemproxy_agent and keepalived. By Mathew Beane @aepod. How to Create and Expire List Items in Redis#NodeJS #howto Good analysis of two approaches to go about expiring set members by Laura Steadman @AdventureSteady from @quickleft (although a list is not a set and a set is not a list). jooby/jooby-jedis#Java #foss Exposes a Jedis service in the minimalist web framework (for Java 8 or higher) – by Edgar Espina @edgarespina. pthm/redular#NodeJS #foss An event scheduling system powered by Redis keyspace notifications, specifically these generated by expiration. Before you laugh this one off, I’ll have you know that there are more than a few production environments out there that use the same principle as this little beauty by Patt-tom McDonnell @pthm_. coldnight/gredis#Python #foss From the blazing mind of coldnight comes an asynchronous Redis client written with Tornado coroutine. etcinit/speedbump#Go #foss A Redis-backed rate limiter with extensible timing functions, comes with s/m/h resolutions by default courtesy of Eduardo Trujillo @etcinit. Store Javascript objects in Redis with Node.js the right way#NodeJS #foss While Redis still lack native JSON, Kyle @stockholmux found a clever way for fitting them into place – use hughsk/flat from Hugh Kennedy @hughskennedy #flatland Benchmarking Redis on Google Cloud Platform#Redis #howto Romin Irani @iRomin blogs about running redis-benchmark on @GoogleCloud. |

OverheardMatthew J Morrison @mattjmorrison: “”#redis is like having pot” via @wes_stclair“ Thomas Christ from @Tumblr: “Redis as a structured cache” Dean Wilson @unixdaemon: “”consider systemdizing a dockerized redis.”” weddpros: “There’s little need for a nosql database (except redis maybe, because it’s so fast) if you’re not trying to…” Matt Nowack @ihumanable via @twilio: “Nothing could stop us, until some developers in Twilio started listening to Rock n’ Roll music and playing around with NoSQL gateway drugs like Memcache and Redis.” mmalex @mmalex: “just found out from @nathankunicki that redis sentinel kept @tearawaygame servers up after EC2 box failed – downtime <20s. WIN! @antirez“ Justin Ryan @quidryan: “Why is FLUSHALL do darn fast in redis? Couldn’t it just sit there for a few seconds, so I’d have enough time to hit CTRL-C?” |
