Database

Redis

In-memory store for caching, sessions, and queues that need to be fast.

Redis handles the things that need to be fast and temporary — session storage, caching expensive queries, rate limiting, and backing job queues. It’s a supporting piece almost every serious backend ends up needing.

What we use it for

Application and query caching
Session storage for high-traffic apps
Queue backend for Laravel/Node background jobs
Rate limiting and real-time counters

Where it shows up in real projects

Speeding up slow, repeated database queries
Session management across multiple servers
Background job queues
Real-time leaderboards, counters, and rate limits
