Redis is a key-value database (also known as a key-value store) that uses a simple key/value method to store data.
Strings are the simplest data type in Redis and are simple key/value entries.
To save or fetch string data there are Redis SET
and GET
commands.
Redis SET
command creates a key and assigns it some value (if the key already exists it just updates the value).
Redis GET
command returns a value assigned to a key.
