Redis
In-memory cache for sessions, rate limits, and low-latency feature serving.
Maturity level: L2 — Can Build
Six perspectives on Redis
Roadmap
Learn when APIs need caching or rate limits — common in production GenAI.
Architecture
Fast layer between API and database/model.
Company
Backend and platform roles; growing in LLM serving stacks.
Projects
Add Redis caching to any high-traffic API.
Interview
Caching patterns and consistency.
Career
Production API engineering.
What & Why
What: In-memory data store used for caching, pub/sub, and fast key-value access.
Why: LLM apps need caching for embeddings, sessions, and rate limiting at scale.
Build this
Cache LLM responses and embedding lookups in Redis with TTL policies.
Production reality
- ! Memory pressure
- ! Cache stampedes
- ! Eviction policy mistakes
Interview preparation
- Cache strategy for LLM apps
- Redis vs in-process cache
