我如何使用重排与姜戈？

我听说过 Redis-cache，但它到底是如何工作的呢？通过以某种方式缓存 rdbms 查询，它是否被用作 django 和我的 rdbms 之间的一个层？

Or is it supposed to be used directly as the database? Which I doubt, since that github page doesn't cover any login details, no setup.. just tells you to set some config property.

This Python module for Redis has a clear usage example in the readme: http://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py

Redis is designed to be a RAM cache. It supports basic GET and SET of keys plus the storing of collections such as dictionaries. You can cache RDBMS queries by storing their output in Redis. The goal would be to speed up your Django site. Don't start using Redis or any other cache until you need the speed - don't prematurely optimize.

Redis is basically an 'in memory' KV store with loads of bells and whistles. It is extremely flexible. You can use it as a temporary store, like a cache, or a permanent store, like a database (with caveats as mentioned in other answers).

When combined with Django the best/most common use case for Redis is probably to cache 'responses' and sessions.

There's a backend here https://github.com/sebleier/django-redis-cache/ and excellent documentation in the Django docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/cache/ .

I've recently started using https://github.com/erussell/django-redis-status to monitor my cache - works a charm. (Configure maxmemory on redis or the results aren't so very useful).

Just because Redis stores things in-memory does not mean that it is meant to be a cache. I have seen people using it as a persistent store for data.

That it can be used as a cache is a hint that it is useful as a high-performance storage. If your Redis system goes down though you might loose data that was not been written back onto the disk again. There are some ways to mitigate such dangers, e.g. a hot-standby replica. If your data is 'mission-critical', like if you run a bank or a shop, Redis might not be the best pick for you. But if you write a high-traffic game with persistent live data or some social-interaction stuff and manage the probability of data-loss to be quite acceptable, then Redis might be worth a look.

Anyway, the point remains, yes, Redis can be used as a database.

You can also use Redis as a queue for distributed tasks in your Django app. You can use it as a message broker for Celery or Python RQ.

Redis as a Primary database

Yes you can use Redis key-value store as a primary database. Redis not only store key-value pairs it also support different data structures like

  1. List
  2. Set
  3. Sorted set
  4. Hashes
  5. Bitmaps
  6. Hyperloglogs

Redis Data types Official doc

Redis is in memory key-value store so you must aware of it if Redis server failure occurred your data will be lost.

Redis can also persist data check official doc.

Redis as a Cache

Yes Redis reside between in Django and RDBMS.

How it works

given a URL, try finding that page in the cache if the page is in the cache: return the cached page else: generate the page save the generated page in the cache (for next time) return the generated page

How can use Redis with Django

We can use redis python client redis-py for Django application.
