Learn & Deploy Redis in 15 Minutes (Install + Redis CLI)

Trying to understand what Redis actually does and why people use it?
In this video, i break Redis down in plain terms. No buzzwords. No magic. Just how it works, how to install it, and how to use it from the CLI.

We’ll talk about what Redis is good at, when it makes sense to use it, and when it probably doesn’t. Then we’ll install it locally and run real commands so you can see what’s going on under the hood.
