A short post tonight.

I needed to have some sort of key/value store in my app, and I decided to try Redis. I've seen it around during my time as a web developer and I wanted to know what's about it. I still have a lot to learn and understand but I got quite the hang of it. You can store data (and vectors, but I haven't dig into that, sounds complicated) with keys and id.

For me it was quite useful because:

• I need to store some challenges when a user register
• I need to store some number code when a user wants to link another device
• I need this data in multiple files in my source code
• I needed to easily get/set/delete those small chunks of data

I set that up quite easily. I also installed a Redis instance on my server way more easily than I thought (well, I haven't deployed my code to use the server yet, so we'll see about that).

I think server-wise I'm quite setup. I should improve the overall style of the blog to make it more appealing to me and visitors.
