Description
Redis is one of the most powerful tools in modern web development - known for blazing-fast performance, real-time capabilities, and a simple yet flexible data model. Whether you're building e-commerce carts, analytics dashboards, or scalable backend systems, Redis can dramatically improve your app's responsiveness and architecture.Who This Course Is For:Express/Node JS/TS developers looking to add Redis to their tech stack for performance and scalabilityBackend engineers who want hands-on experience with Redis in real-world projectsWeb developers aiming to build fast, real-time features like session carts, live analytics, or rate-limited APIsStudents or bootcamp grads who want practical Redis experience to stand out in job applicationsDevOps or full-stack developers interested in Docker-based workflows and caching strategiesAnyone curious about Redis who wants to go beyond tutorials and apply it in full-stack Node/TS appsProject 1: Session-Based CartBuild a high-performance shopping cart using Express sessions stored in Redis:Fast, persistent session managementQuantity tracking with real-time updatesAuto-expiring carts using TTLProject 2: Real-Time Voting AppA real-time analytics voting app with Redis-powered features:Anonymous vote submissionsRate limiting with IP/session controlsLive vote tallying and poll management via APIMore projects will be added in future course updates.The course uses Docker to ensure smooth local development and RedisInsight for better data visualization.Whether you're a backend developer, TypeScript enthusiast, or Node.js pro - this course will give you the Redis confidence and practical experience to build fast, modern applications.
