The example application is the Redis Movie Database. Its a simple database application with Movies as the underlying application domain. The ideas here are applicable to a wide range of domains and, hopefully, what you see and experience will help you see where you too can use Redis to enhance your users access to data.
Using this application you’ll be able to understand:
Purely for teaching purposes we’re going to have two data sources:
The system you have access to comprises a MySQL database, a Redis database and an application. We haven’t tested every path through this combination of technologies, so it is entirely possible that you might break things as you try some things out, although hopefully only when you’re exploring on your own, and not when you’re following the instructions! But you can simply stop and restart everything and you should be good to go!
