# Redis & In-Memory Data Stores

> Learn to build high-performance applications using Redis in a mentor-led environment. Apply practical scenarios covering caching, pub/sub, and scalable in-memory architectures.

## Overview

Redis & In-Memory Data Stores is designed for professionals looking to build high-performance, low-latency applications using modern in-memory technologies. This mentor-led course focuses on Redis as a primary tool for caching, messaging, and real-time data processing.

Through practical scenarios, learners will explore Redis data types, caching patterns, and pub/sub messaging systems. The course also covers persistence mechanisms, clustering, and scaling strategies to ensure reliability and performance in production environments.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to design and implement Redis-based solutions, optimise application performance, and integrate in-memory data stores into modern architectures. The course is aligned with real-world application and platform engineering needs.
