Redis and using it from Java with Jedis, with Jon Leibiusky

Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. (It is often referred to as a data structure server, because keys can contain different kinds of useful data structures.) Jedis is the most popular Redis Java client, focused on being complete, minimal and easy to use. In this talk, Jedis creator Jonathan Leibiusky will explain what Redis is, show the many different available data structures for Redis, and show how to use them from Jedis. He will also explain how to can build a Redis cluster (which is how Redis scales) and explain some of the recent updates he's made to the Jedis project.

Jonathan Leibiusky is a Principal Systems Engineer at Gilt. A passionate polyglot developer, he is the author of Jedis (a popular Java client for Redis) as well as the creator of numerous other open source projects. He is also the co-author of O’Reilly’s Getting Started With Storm.
