redis-core
Core Redis modeling guidance — choose the right data structure (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, JSON, Stream, Vector Set) and use consistent colon-separated key names. Use when designing a Redis data model, caching objects, deciding between Hash and JSON, building counters, leaderboards, membership sets, or session stores, or when reviewing/cleaning up Redis key naming.

Redis Core Foundational guidance for modeling data in Redis. Covers data-type selection and key-name conventions — the two decisions that most directly drive memory, performance, and maintainability. When to apply Caching objects, sessions, or per-user state. Counters, leaderboards, recent-items lists, unique-membership sets. Reviewing or refactoring Redis key names. Deciding between a Redis Hash and a JSON document for an entity. Choose the right data structure Pick the type that matches the access pattern, not just the shape of the data.
