Azure Redis Cache modules for JavaScript

  • Article

Azure Redis Cache is based on the popular open-source Redis project. It gives you access to a secure, dedicated Redis instance, managed by Microsoft and accessible from your Azure apps.

Redis is an advanced key-value store, where keys can contain data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. Redis supports a set of atomic operations on these data types.
