4 Ways to Check your Redis Version
Here are four quick and easy ways to find out what version of Redis you’re using.
Continue readingRedis SETNX Command Explained
The Redis SETNX command sets a key to a given value, but only if the key doesn’t already exist. If the key already holds a value, no operation is performed.
Note: The SET command can do the same thing, and it’s possible that the SETNX command may be deprecated at some point. Therefore, it’s probably a good idea to use SET instead of SETNX if possible.
Redis MSETNX Command Explained
In Redis, the MSETNX command allows us to set multiple keys at once, but only if none of them exist.
This allows us to set multiple keys representing different fields of a single logical object in a way that ensures that either all the fields are set, or none are set.

In Redis, the MGET command allows us to get the values of multiple keys at once. The values are returned in an array reply.
If a specified key doesn’t exist, MGET returns nil for that key.
Redis MSET Command Explained
In Redis, the MSET command allows us to set multiple keys at once. It replaces any existing values, just as SET does.
Redis SET Command Explained
In Redis, the SET command sets a key to hold a given string value.
If the key already holds a value, it is overwritten with the new value. Also, any previous time to live associated with the key is discarded (assuming a successful SET operation).
Redis GET Command Explained
In Redis, the GET command returns the value of a given key. If the key doesn’t exist, it returns nil.
An error is returned if the value stored at key is not a string.
Redis LASTSAVE Command Explained
When using Redis, we can use the LASTSAVE command to get the Unix time of the last DB save.
More specifically, LASTSAVE returns the Unix time of the last DB save executed with success.
