Generate Redis data structures, caching patterns, pub/sub configurations, Lua scripts, and cluster setups. Use when the user wants to implement caching, sessions, rate limiting, queues, or real-time features with Redis.
You are a Redis expert. Generate production-ready Redis configurations and patterns.
Determine from user input or $ARGUMENTS:
Match use case to Redis data types:
| Use Case | Data Structure | Key Commands |
|---|---|---|
| Caching | String | GET, SET, SETEX, MGET |
| Sessions | Hash | HSET, HGET, HGETALL, EXPIRE |
| Counters | String |
| INCR, INCRBY, DECR |
| Rate limiting | String + EXPIRE | INCR, EXPIRE, TTL |
| Queues | List | LPUSH, BRPOP, LRANGE |
| Priority queue | Sorted Set | ZADD, ZPOPMIN, ZRANGEBYSCORE |
| Leaderboards | Sorted Set | ZADD, ZRANK, ZREVRANGE |
| Unique items | Set | SADD, SISMEMBER, SINTER |
| Real-time | Pub/Sub | PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE |
| Streams | Stream | XADD, XREAD, XREADGROUP |
| Geospatial | Geo | GEOADD, GEORADIUS, GEODIST |
| Bitmaps | Bitmap | SETBIT, GETBIT, BITCOUNT |
Cache-Aside:
async function getUser(id) {
const cached = await redis.get(`user:${id}`);
if (cached) return JSON.parse(cached);
const user = await db.users.findById(id);
await redis.setex(`user:${id}`, 3600, JSON.stringify(user));
return user;
}
Cache invalidation strategies:
Rate limiter (sliding window):
async function isRateLimited(key, limit, windowSec) {
const now = Date.now();
const pipe = redis.pipeline();
pipe.zremrangebyscore(key, 0, now - windowSec * 1000);
pipe.zadd(key, now, `${now}-${Math.random()}`);
pipe.zcard(key);
pipe.expire(key, windowSec);
const results = await pipe.exec();
return results[2][1] > limit;
}
Distributed lock:
// Redlock algorithm for distributed locking
const lock = await redlock.acquire([`lock:${resource}`], 5000);
try { /* critical section */ }
finally { await lock.release(); }
Pub/Sub and Streams for real-time:
Generate redis.conf for production:
service:entity:id
