Case Study: How Bleacher Report Created a Blazing Fast API App Using Redis Labs

In this 30 min session you will learn how Bleacher Report used Redis Labs to build a highly scalable, highly available, and top performing application with sub 60ms response times. Redis is an open source in memory NoSQL database best known for its sub-millisecond latency.

In this session you will learn:

Why we needed to build the API app.
Why Bleacher report relies on Redis as a critical infrastructure component.
How to leverage Redis operations and methods.
Issues, and lessons learned in building the B/R API service with Redis.
What we found out about Redis Cloud by Redis Labs vs open-source Redis performance.
