How about a series on using Redis with Laravel. Although using Redis with Laravel is dead-simple, it would be great to learn some best practices, performance strategies, conventions etc.
I could think of the following mini-lesson that could be useful for basic and slightly advanced scenarios:
Installing and setting up Redis
Redis for session management
Redis for caching small sets of data and large DB queries
Redis for queues
Redis for collecting metrics
Redis broadcaster with SocketIO for Event Brodcasting (pub/sub)
Best practices for cache expiry, naming keys, use cases for different Redis data structures (hash, lists, sets etc.)
As for best practices, session management, and caching etc, I haven't got anything to hand on that, although there are a number of videos on caching here.
@mstnorris Yeah, I've seen your guide earlier - it's top notch! I personally love Redis - it's a great tool for many web dev projects and I just felt that a comprehensive series with multiple use cases would be great to watch.
I agree with you, I too would like a series on that. I'm currently using Pusher and it is great, although having discussed usage and costs with them, I know that using Redis and Socket.io amongst others, run by myself is definitely the more cost effective way to go.
I support this request as well. :) Learning more about the capabilities and uses for Redis would be great. So far I have only implemented it for caching and would love to see where else it would be beneficial.
Definitely. Although Caching with Redis is the same as Caching with any other format in Laravel so I don't really see the point in doing a tutorial on it since I believe it already exists in one of the Laravel Tutorial Series.
