RedisMakesLifeEasier

Technical Blog

In this blog you can check some more details on Redis implementation - Medium Blog.

Overview

Here, we can get the details of every registered Photographers for the queried zip code, who are using a specific product.

This is a simple Python Based Template where we can leverage the benfits of Redis over using a Regular Database in the Cloud.

Steps - Involved

1. The Compute Engine (EC2) recives an request from the API Gateway to query photographers in a particular ZIP code, who are using a specific product.

2. The Redis in memory database will return the details if the queried key is present, else None. Here, the details will be stored in JSON list Data Structure.

3. If the response for the queried data form Redis DB is None, the response from SQLite Database will be returned back to the Compute Engine with updating the Key in Redis DB.

Sample - Payload

• REQUEST: POST
• URL: http://127.0.0.1:5001/v1

{
    "zipcode": "855058",
    "product-name": "ABC"
}

Sample - Response

{
    "data": [
        {
            "contact": "232-568-8464",
            "name": "Charity",
            "email": "cthynnea@gnu.org",
            "zipcode": "855058",
            "id": 2
        }
    ]
}

Testing

Will be added soon.
