What Does VMware GemFire for Redis Apps Include?
The VMware GemFire for Redis Apps extension includes:
- More than 140 Redis commands. These include Redis commands for Strings, Hashes, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, HyperLogLog, and Pub/Sub.
- Eviction using the allkeys-lru eviction policy
- Keyspace notifications
- Automated cluster slot distribution and balancing.
- Customizable security, compatible with the Redis AUTH command.
- Support for TLS.
- Strong Consistency through synchronous data replication. When an application accesses data, the application receives the most recent “correct” data – data from the last successful write.
- End-to-end multithreading, allowing users to effectively use computing resources.
- Support for the RESP2 protocol.
- Support for Redis clients that support Open Source Redis cluster commands. This includes Spring, Java (Jedis, Lettuce, Redisson), C#/.Net, GO, Python, and Node.js.
The VMware GemFire for Redis Apps extension is available for VMware GemFire, VMware GemFire for TAS and VMware GemFire for Kubernetes.
