A standalone, beginner→advanced course on Redis. Start a real Redis in seconds with the gifted Docker script below, then learn every data type and pattern hands-on with redis-cli.

🎁 Run Redis in Docker first

Start a local Redis, then open its CLI:

docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine
docker exec -it redis redis-cli

Leave this CLI open and paste each lesson's commands into it. (No Docker? Install Redis locally.)
