# Redis

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/redis

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Developers use it for its high performance and support for data structures like strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets, making it common in caching layers, session storage, and real-time analytics. Redis is widely deployed in web application backends to reduce latency and offload traffic from primary databases.
