Key Features
Secure by default
Platform engineers can choose which TLS versions are offered within their service plans to help developers ensure their applications are using the appropriate TLS encryption when communicating with their databases.
Enterprise-grade, scalable Redis deployments
Developers can deploy Redis from their VMware Tanzu Application Service marketplace within minutes. Developers and platform engineers can rest assured their organization can use Redis with Tanzu Application Service for applications that need highly available database deployments.
Streamlined metrics and log management
All Redis services emit logs. Operators can configure syslog forwarding to a remote destination. This enables viewing logs from every VM in the Redis for Tanzu Application Service deployment in one place, effective troubleshooting when logs are lost on the source VM, and setting up alerts for important error logs to monitor the deployment.
Secured database credentials with CredHub
Platform engineers can enable service plans that automatically store sensitive data like credentials in Tanzu Application Service’s embedded secret store, CredHub. Developers can rest assured because their database credentials can be automatically encrypted, managed and injected into their applications without having to worry about integrating a third-party secret store.
BOSH-managed virtual machines
Developers and platform engineers will benefit from databases deployed via BOSH, from secure golden base images known as stemcells. Tedious tasks, such as operating system and database updates, can be automated within Tanzu Application Service. Automated backups can also be configured to be managed and maintained by BOSH, rather than leaving it up to individual teams to manage their backups.
Easy database consumption with service bindings
Developers writing applications on Tanzu Application Service can use the familiar service binding process to inject Redis information into applications automatically. They can focus on writing code instead of managing database credentials and connection strings.
Use Cases
Key/value store
As Redis is an in-memory data store with low latency and high resilience, it can help store complex data structures, which help in dealing with details concerning user profiles, credentials, session state, and user-specific personalization.
Caching
Redis can operate at super low response times serving as the perfect option for database common query results caching, persistent session caching, web page caching, and caching of frequently used objects such as images, files and metadata.
Publish and subscribe operations
Redis' Pub/Sub feature allows you to create a publish/subscribe messaging system, enabling real-time communication, event-driven architectures, and channel patterns.
Geospatial indexing
Redis supports geospatial data structure and allows querying for geospatial indexing and searching through simple commands, unlocking a whole new array of geospatial use cases.
Real-time leaderboards
Redis is capable of handling extremely large datasets with the use of intelligent tiered access to memory and also supports sorted sets and hashes—all of which make it a preferred option for building real-time leaderboards.
