Redis

[worthy tapir]

I wanted to ask, do many of you still use redis when creating restful api using nest js?

I want to learn how to use redis to create restful api.

Normally Redis would be used for cachingg or as an event bus store or for work queues via BullMQ. It's not normally used for a backend database. So, not sure what you are meaning.

[worthy tapir]

oh yes, I mean caching

sorry

um, if it has nothing to do with the backend database, that means it has nothing to do with me using postgresql either?

I'm sorry for asking like this

No, it's a completely separate thing. The choice of the database for application's data and a database for caching are two different choices not dependent on each other.

ooo

[worthy tapir]

I understand a little, they are 2 different things.

Now that I have found this video, maybe it will be good for me to understand and learn redis.

and I will replace it using nest js.

thank you very much for answering my wrong question @upper cape @cursive crater

@worthy tapir - Just note, the presenter in that video says Redis can be used as a regular database too, but most won't use it that way, because it doesn't offer the extensive querying capabilities that an SQL or even a NoSQL database offers.
