Redis, best known as a data cache or real-time data platform, is evolving into much more, Tim Hall, chief of product at the company told The New Stack in a recent TNS Makers podcast.

Redis is an in-memory database or memory-first database, which means the data lands there and people are using us for both caching and persistence. However, these days, the company has a number of flexible data models, but one of the brand promises of Redis is developers can store the data as they’re working with it. So as opposed to a SQL database where you might have to turn your data structures into columns and tables, you can actually store the data structures that you’re working with directly into Redis, Hall said.
