Unraveling NoSQL: Redis and Overview

Learning Objective

Understand the basics of NoSQL, get an overview of NoSQL databases, and explore Redis as a key-value store.

What do you already know about NoSQL databases?

What is NoSQL?

NoSQL databases are non-relational, distributed, and horizontally scalable data stores, offering flexibility and high performance.

Types of NoSQL Databases

There are four main types: key-value stores, document stores, column-family stores, and graph databases.

Overview of NoSQL

NoSQL databases are designed for handling big data and real-time web applications, providing agility and scalability.

Introduction to Redis

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store known for its speed, versatility, and support for various data structures.

Use Cases of Redis

Redis is often used for caching, session management, real-time analytics, message brokering, and leaderboard applications.

Multiple Choice Question

Which type of NoSQL database is designed for handling highly connected data and complex relationships? A) Key-Value Store B) Document Store C) Graph Database D) Column-Family Store

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
