From SQL to NoSQL with Redis

Thu, 25 April

Do you instinctively opt for a relational database every time for your application's data needs? Discover how the dynamic combination of a NoSQL database and a robust search engine can occasionally outstrip SQL's flexibility. This talk offers a deep dive into Redis's potent search capabilities, emphasizing querying both structured and unstructured data. Redis's modern adaptations bridge the SQL-NoSQL divide, facilitating standard SQL patterns in a key-value and document datastore environment. Let's explore how to model your application's datasets as Redis JSON documents, achieve SQL-grade data querying in Redis, and construct insightful reports and analytics with Redis's advanced search aggregation.
