RedisGears ¶

What is RedisGears? ¶

RedisGears is a serverless engine for transaction, batch and event-driven data processing in Redis. It is a dynamic framework for the execution of functions that, in turn, implement data flows in Redis, while (almost) entirely abstracting the data's distribution and choice of deployment (i.e. stand-alone vs. cluster, OSS vs. Enterprise). Functions can be implemented in different languages, including Python and C APIs .

For example, you can use RedisGears to count the words in Redis:

gb = GearsBuilder()
gb.map(lambda x: x['value'])     # map records to "sentence" values
gb.flatmap(lambda x: x.split())  # split sentences to words
gb.countby()                     # count each word's occurances
gb.run()

In broad strokes, the following diagram depicts RedisGears' components:
