What you will learn

  • Identify races, partial errors and uncertain write outcomes.
  • Design bounded retry, replay and client lifecycles.

  1. Cache-aside, invalidation and stampedes

    Design cache hits, misses and invalidation around an authoritative source and explicit freshness requirements. Analyze race schedules and overload instead of treating TTL as complete consistency.

  2. Pipelining, round trips and bounded work

    Reduce request overhead without confusing batching with isolation. Budget command count, reply bytes and application concurrency before increasing pipeline size.

  3. MULTI, EXEC, WATCH and error semantics

    Use Redis transaction isolation and optimistic checks without importing SQL rollback assumptions. Inspect queue-time, execution-time and uncertain-commit outcomes separately.

    Start learning

  4. Bounded scripts and Redis Functions

    Move small read-dependent decisions to the server while preserving bounded execution, declared keys and honest error semantics. Distinguish script caching from function deployment.

  5. Streams, consumer groups and replay

    Use stream history and pending-entry state without confusing delivery, acknowledgment and exactly-once side effects. Define retention and recovery before consumer failure.

  6. Clients, ACLs, TLS and safe access

    Separate connection discovery, authentication, authorization and transport protection. Use bounded clients and narrowly scoped key/command requirements without exposing credentials or administration.
