Overview

Redis is an in memory data store used as a cache, session store, message broker and fast key value database. Because it keeps data in memory, it answers in microseconds, which makes it a common companion to slower primary databases.

This image gives you a configured Redis instance ready to sit in front of your application or database.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image installs Redis on a hardened base, bound to private interfaces and protected by an access password generated uniquely for your instance on first boot and readable only by root, so it is not left open by default. The deployment guide covers connecting your application, persistence options and safe network exposure. 24/7 support is included with every instance.

Common uses

  • An application cache that takes load off your primary database
  • Session and rate limit storage for web services
  • A fast key value store and lightweight message queue
