On the 27th of June, we announced the general availability (GA) of RedisTimeSeries v1.0. RedisTimeSeries is a Redis module developed by Redis Labs to enhance your experience managing time series data with Redis. We released RedisTimeSeries in preview/beta mode over six months ago and appreciate all the great feedback and suggestions we received from the community and our customers as we worked together on this first GA version. To mark this release, we performed a benchmark, which achieved 125K queries per second with RedisTimeSeries as compared to other time series approaches in Redis. Skip ahead for the full results, or take a moment to first learn about what led us to build this new module.
Why RedisTimeSeries?
Many Redis users have been using Redis for time series data for almost a decade and have been happy and successful doing so. As we will explain later, these developers are using the generic native data structures of Redis. So let’s first take a step back to explain why we decided to build a module with a dedicated time series data structure.
