PyCon Russia - Redis Talk

Posted on March 2, 2013 in python nosql

Amir Salihefendic talks about Redis, scaling plurk.com and some python libraries on top of redis like bitmapist.

Amix talks about scaling plurk.com with Redis. The slides are available on Scribd.

If you do not have time to watch the video, you should at least check these Python libraries:

• redis_wrap is a wrapper for the Python list, dict, and set data structures, backed by Redis.
• redis_graph is a simple graph database implemented on top of Redis.
• redis_queue implements a Python queue with Redis. See my blog post simple python queue with redis for a similar solution.
• bitmapist is an advanced analytics library on top of Redis bitmaps.

The last one is very useful if you want to run custom analytics for your website. There is also bitter, a PHP port of the analytics library.
