📖 About the Project

Redis Cache Management is a backend microservice integrated into a Django application, designed to optimize data retrieval and application performance by leveraging Redis as an in-memory data store. This service streamlines cache management, reduces latency, and minimizes load on backend databases.

👀 Overview

• The service provides methods to store (setredisdata), retrieve (getredisdata), and delete (deleteredisdata) cached data in Redis.
• It handles caching efficiently, storing responses for up to 45 days to reduce the need for repeated data fetching from the backend.

🛠 Built With

• Python
• Django
• Redis
• JSON

🔥 Tech Stack

• Redis

🔑 Key Features

• Efficient Caching: Caches data for up to 45 days to reduce backend load.
• Data Retrieval: Retrieves data from the cache, minimizing response time.
• Cache Management: Provides methods to set, get, and delete cache entries.

💻 Getting Started

📜 Prerequisites

To use this service, you will need:

• Python 3.x
• Django
• Redis server installed
• Required Python libraries: django-redis, json.

⚙️ Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/redis-cache-management.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd redis-cache-management

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure Redis in Django:

   In your Django project's settings.py, add the following configuration:

   CACHES = {
       "default": {
           "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache",
           "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1",
           "OPTIONS": {
               "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient",
           }
       }
   }

5. Start the Redis server:

   sudo service redis-server start

▶️ Run Application

1. Run the Django development server:

   python manage.py runserver

🕹️ Usage

1. Set Data: Use the setredisdata method to store data in Redis.
2. Get Data: Use the getredisdata method to retrieve cached data.
3. Delete Data: Use the deleteredisdata method to delete cache entries as needed.

Example Usage:

To set data in the cache, you can send a POST request to the setredisdata endpoint with the following payload:

{
    "key": "unique_key",
    "value": {
        "data": "your_data"
    }
}
