REDIS Transporter

The CREDEBL platform leverages Redis as an in-memory data store, primarily for caching and queuing. By storing bulk data in memory, CREDEBL services can achieve high performance, making it easier to manage real-time workloads and handle large volumes of data efficiently.

Setting Up a REDIS Server:

To set up Redis for the CREDEBL platform, follow the steps below to create and launch a Redis instance using Docker.

Create the docker-compose.yml File

The docker-compose.yml file is used to define and configure the Redis container for the platform.

version: '3'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:6.2-alpine
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'
    command: redis-server --save 20 1 --loglevel warning
    volumes:
      - cache:/data


volumes:
  cache:
  • Image: This specifies the version of Redis to be used. In this case, we are using redis:6.2-alpine for a lightweight and fast setup.
  • Restart Policy: The restart always directive ensures that the Redis service restarts automatically in case of failure.
  • Ports: The Redis server is mapped to the host machine’s port 6379.
  • Command: Configures the Redis server to save data after 20 changes within 1 second and limits logging to warnings.
  • Volumes: Data is persisted in a Docker volume named cache.

Start REDIS Server

Once the docker-compose.yml file is in place, start the Redis service by running the following command:

docker compose up

This command will bring up the Redis container, which is now ready to handle caching and queuing for the CREDEBL platform.
