Redis vs. MySQL Benchmarks

In this article, we will be discussing the performance benchmarks of Redis and MySQL. We will start with the introduction and installation of Redis over Ubuntu. Then we will move towards the benchmarking between these two.

Introduction to Redis

According to the official website, Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Actually, Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is super fast with amazingly high throughput, as it can perform approximately 110000 SETs per second, about 81000 GETs per second. It also supports a very rich set of data types to store. As a matter of fact, Redis keeps the data in-memory every time, but also persistent on-disk.
