Caching for a Global Netflix (14 minutes to read) #CachesEverywhere

@Netflix‘s “EVCache is an extensively used data-caching service that provides the low-latency, high-reliability caching solution that the Netflix microservice architecture demands. It is a RAM store based on memcached, optimized for cloud use.” It is designed for caching databases and memoization, but also offers strong global consistency (or eventual) and cross data center replication. The Replication message queue is handled with Apache Kafka with proxied relay clusters. By the EVCache’s team: Shashi Madappa, Vu Nguyen, Scott Mansfield @sgmansfield, Sridhar Enugula, Allan Pratt and Faisal Zakaria Siddiqi @faisalzs

OH Marcos Nils @marcosnils > _After months of work #jedis 3.0 is finally released. Check it out here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jedis_redis/VAVgyslkERo #redis @heartsavior @xetorthio_ <= big^3 congrats & a great release date 🙂

RedisLabs/luascript #Java #foss

A much nicer way to run scripts from #Jedis – authored by Dvir Volk @dvirsky who’d love to get your feedbacks on it. Should be merged into Jedis if you ask for my opinion 😉

Luainsider – manage your Redis Lua scripts like a pro #howto

Apropos, here’s a methodology, approach and apparatus for semi-persisting and aliasing Redis Lua scripts.

itamarhaber/file2resp.sh #Bash #foss

And not apropos, a couple of weeks ago, while working with GeoJSON, I was trying to load some bulky contents to Redis. I know of at least two Bash clients, but both were too robust for my humble needs. Then came a question from the community that had pushed me to share this.

How To Persist User Sessions Without Much Effort #NodeJS #howto

Sessionization is a favorite Redis use case – some of my best friends do that! – and this one here is a good intro to the subject. By Hays Hutton @haysh of Compose @composeio, an @IBM company.

Working with Redis #Go #howto

A gentle introduction to get you Go-ing by Alex Edwards @ajmedwards.

OH Ishan Aditya @ishanaditya > Note-to-self: If Redis does ever become the bottle-neck, first check the NIC driver 😛

There is something rotten in the state of geohash (3 min read)

Chapter 21, in which Kyle @stockholmux tries to make sense of the world only to realize the obvious – there is no spoon and I wouldn’t trust a module whose name could be hijacked – #LEFTPAD #JustSaying

coopengo/tryton-perf-analyzer #Python #foss

If you’re using the Tryton ERP project this could be useful. If not, just appreciate the ease of using Redis to monitor an application’s performance including access to the primary database – by Ali Kefia @alikefia.

Serializable cross shard client-side transactions (NaN minutes to read)

Seems simple enough… I wonder if it is applicable for uhm, lets say, Redis? by Rystsov Denis @rystsov who keeps a very interesting blog.

Iterate over all keys in a Redis Cluster (5 minutes to read)

Client authors: in case you were wondering how to abstract this, Mark Paluch @mp911de did the thinking for you. BTW, Mark had recently joined @Pivotal‘s SpringCentral @springcentral data team, so congrats are in order around the table.

a Scaleable A/B testing backend in ~100 lines of code (and for free*) (5 minutes to read)

A nearly-instant way to collect events using just AWS’ Lambda & Redis’ HyperLogLog – cool & by Yoav Avner gingerlime.

Asher256/puppet-redis_cluster #Puppet #module

Install and configure multiple instances of Redis in the same node from @Asher256

tidwall/tile38 #Go #foss

“…is a geolocation data store, spatial index, and realtime geofence. It supports a variety of object types including lat/lon points, bounding boxes, XYZ tiles, Geohashes, and GeoJSON. Seems useful, definitely instructional and very reminiscent of something extremely familiar – from Josh Baker @tidwall.

OH data[‘mafia’] = True @datamafia > The sweet smell of #Redis. Best described as Twizzler and motor oil. #programming #LifeInTheQueue #queueLife

Nmap Development: Ncrack postgres + redis modules #Security #Trivia

So that’s actually cool in two ways, the first is obvious – I mean, who doesn’t want to crack Redis, right? The second nice thing has to do with Redis and Nmap in general, so if you’re idle scan through Nmap’s docs to figure it out. Modules courtesy of Vaggoc Deirme @edeirme.

Redis Login Utility #Security #metasploit

This one has no trivia, it is just a brute force attacker – protect yourself by following this quote from the default redis.conf configuration file:

            # Warning: since Redis is pretty fast an outside user can try up to
            # 150k passwords per second against a good box. This means that you should
            # use a very strong password otherwise it will be very easy to break.
            #
            requirepass foobared
          

OH Chris Black @ThatChrisBlack > I still can’t get over how much faster Redis caching is compared to everything else I’ve tried.

Harnessing the Full power of Redis (PDF, 66 slides)

I had the pleasure of actually attending Daniel Magliola @dmagliola‘s session at El Rug @lrug – if you already know your Redis, I recommend that you keep scrolling until the part about the phone rotator use case. Good stuff.

Unit testing Redis Lua scripts #Lua #DotNET #howto

The one thing that always bugs me is unit testing Lua scripts – Harald S. Ulriksen @hsulriksen shows how to pull that one easily off (although you still need a Redis server to run them).

OH Redsmin {Redis GUI} @redsmin > Yes! You can now track Redis #Cluster related metrics in Redsmin! <- Simply beautiful, kudos!

Nick Craver – Stack Overflow: The Hardware – 2016 Edition (5 minutes to read) #ScalePorn

I just can’t stop drooling over Stack Overflow @StackOverflow‘s Nick Craver @Nick_Craver posts on their stack’s everything. Of course, one thing leads to another, so you may want a refresher on how Providence uses Redis to store & serve predictions <- #MachineLearning

OH Sean Porter @portertech > .@sensu will soon have proper Redis Sentinel support, making HA Redis configuration much easier. <- that’s pretty, can I have some?
