About this course
This course develops practical capability in Redis and Valkey. Its course-specific content covers Key-value structures, Application patterns, Persistence and memory, Availability and security, followed by an applied project focused on implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Redis and Valkey or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of databases & data administration. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests
Deliver implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Key-value structures
+
- Strings, hashes, lists and sets
- Sorted sets, expiry and atomic commands
Practical exerciseApply key-value structures to the implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests and capture the validation evidence.
02Application patterns
+
- Cache-aside and rate-limiting patterns
- Transactions, scripting and client connections
Practical exerciseApply application patterns to the implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests and capture the validation evidence.
03Persistence and memory
+
- RDB-AOF concepts and durability trade-offs
- Eviction policies and memory sizing
Practical exerciseApply persistence and memory to the implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests and capture the validation evidence.
04Availability and security
+
- Replication, failover and cluster partitioning
- ACLs, protected access and backup verification
Practical exerciseApply availability and security to the implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Implement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests.
- Implement the project using key-value structures, application patterns, persistence and memory, availability and security.
Practical exerciseImplement a bounded cache with recovery and eviction tests.
06Redis and Valkey — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
