# The databases/redis port

## redis-2.4.15 – persistent key-value database

## Description

    Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is similar to memcached, but
    the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings (exactly like in
    memcached), but also lists, sets, and ordered sets. All this data types
    can be manipulated with atomic operations to push/pop elements, add/remove
    elements, perform server side unions, intersections, and so forth.
    In order to be very fast but at the same time persistent, the whole
    dataset is taken in memory and from time to time and/or when a
    number of changes to the dataset are performed, it is written
    asynchronously to the disk.
