-# Redis Patterns
-
-Quick reference for Redis best practices across common backend use cases.
-
-## How It Works
-
-Redis is an in-memory data structure store that supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, and more. Individual Redis commands are atomic on a single instance; multi-step workflows require Lua scripts, MULTI/EXEC transactions, or explicit synchronization to stay atomic. Data is optionally persisted via RDB snapshots or AOF logs. Clients communicate over TCP using the RESP protocol; connection pools are essential to avoid per-request handshake overhead.
-
-## When to Activate
-
-- Adding caching to an application
-- Implementing rate limiting or throttling
-- Building distributed locks or coordination
-- Setting up session or token storage
-- Using Pub/Sub or Redis Streams for messaging
-- Configuring Redis in production (pooling, eviction, clustering)
-
-## Data Structure Cheat Sheet
-
-| Use Case | Structure | Example Key |
-|----------|-----------|-------------|
-| Simple cache | String | `product:123` |
-| User session | Hash | `session:abc` |
-| Leaderboard | Sorted Set | `scores:weekly` |
-| Unique visitors | Set | `visitors:2024-01-01` |
-| Activity feed | List | `feed:user:456` |
-| Event stream | Stream | `events:orders` |
-| Counters / rate limits | String (INCR) | `ratelimit:user:123` |
-| Bloom filter / HLL | HyperLogLog | `hll:pageviews` |
-
-## Core Patterns
-
-### Cache-Aside (Lazy Loading)
-
-```python
-import redis
-import json
-
-r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, decode_responses=True)
-
-def get_product(product_id: int):
-    cache_key = f"product:{product_id}"
-    cached = r.get(cache_key)
-
-    if cached:
-        return json.loads(cached)
-
-    product = db.query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = %s", product_id)
-    r.setex(cache_key, 3600, json.dumps(product))  # TTL: 1 hour
-    return product
-```
-
-### Write-Through Cache
-
-```python
-def update_product(product_id: int, data: dict):
-    # Write to DB first
-    db.execute("UPDATE products SET ... WHERE id = %s", product_id)
-
-    # Immediately update cache
-    cache_key = f"product:{product_id}"
-    r.setex(cache_key, 3600, json.dumps(data))
-```
-
-### Cache Invalidation
-
-```python
-# Tag-based invalidation — group related keys under a set
-def cache_product(product_id: int, category_id: int, data: dict):
-    key = f"product:{product_id}"
-    tag = f"tag:category:{category_id}"
-    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
-    pipe.setex(key, 3600, json.dumps(data))
-    pipe.sadd(tag, key)
-    pipe.expire(tag, 3600)
-    pipe.execute()
-
-def invalidate_category(category_id: int):
-    tag = f"tag:category:{category_id}"
-    keys = r.smembers(tag)
-    if keys:
-        r.delete(*keys)
-    r.delete(tag)
-```
-
-### Session Storage
-
-```python
-import time
-import uuid
-
-def create_session(user_id: int, ttl: int = 86400) -> str:
-    session_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
-    key = f"session:{session_id}"
-    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
-    pipe.hset(key, mapping={
-        "user_id": user_id,
-        "created_at": int(time.time()),
-    })
-    pipe.expire(key, ttl)
-    pipe.execute()
-    return session_id
-
-def get_session(session_id: str) -> dict | None:
-    data = r.hgetall(f"session:{session_id}")
-    return data if data else None
-
-def delete_session(session_id: str):
-    r.delete(f"session:{session_id}")
-```
-
-## Rate Limiting
-
-### Fixed Window (Simple)
-
-```python
-def is_rate_limited(user_id: int, limit: int = 100, window: int = 60) -> bool:
-    key = f"ratelimit:{user_id}:{int(time.time()) // window}"
-    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
-    pipe.incr(key)
-    pipe.expire(key, window)
-    count, _ = pipe.execute()
-    return count > limit
-```
-
-### Sliding Window (Lua — Atomic)
-
-```lua
--- sliding_window.lua
-local key = KEYS[1]
-local now = tonumber(ARGV[1])
-local window = tonumber(ARGV[2])
-local limit = tonumber(ARGV[3])
-
-redis.call('ZREMRANGEBYSCORE', key, 0, now - window)
-local count = redis.call('ZCARD', key)
-
-if count < limit then
-    -- Use unique member (now + sequence) to avoid collisions within the same millisecond
-    local seq_key = key .. ':seq'
-    local seq = redis.call('INCR', seq_key)
-    redis.call('EXPIRE', seq_key, math.ceil(window / 1000))
-    redis.call('ZADD', key, now, now .. '-' .. seq)
-    redis.call('EXPIRE', key, math.ceil(window / 1000))
-    return 1
-end
-return 0
-```
-
-```python
-sliding_window = r.register_script(open('sliding_window.lua').read())
-
-def allow_request(user_id: int) -> bool:
-    key = f"ratelimit:sliding:{user_id}"
-    now = int(time.time() * 1000)
-    return bool(sliding_window(keys=[key], args=[now, 60000, 100]))
-```
-
-## Distributed Locks
-
-### Distributed Lock (Single Node — SET NX PX)
-
-```python
-import uuid
-
-def acquire_lock(resource: str, ttl_ms: int = 5000) -> str | None:
-    lock_key = f"lock:{resource}"
-    token = str(uuid.uuid4())
-    acquired = r.set(lock_key, token, px=ttl_ms, nx=True)
-    return token if acquired else None
-
-def release_lock(resource: str, token: str) -> bool:
-    release_script = """
-    if redis.call('get', KEYS[1]) == ARGV[1] then
-        return redis.call('del', KEYS[1])
-    else
-        return 0
-    end
-    """
-    result = r.eval(release_script, 1, f"lock:{resource}", token)
-    return bool(result)
-
-# Usage
-token = acquire_lock("order:payment:123")
-if token:
-    try:
-        process_payment()
-    finally:
-        release_lock("order:payment:123", token)
-```
-
-> For multi-node setups use the `redlock-py` library which implements the full Redlock algorithm.
-
-## Pub/Sub & Streams
-
-### Pub/Sub (Fire-and-Forget)
-
-```python
-# Publisher
-def publish_event(channel: str, payload: dict):
-    r.publish(channel, json.dumps(payload))
-
-# Subscriber (blocking — run in separate thread/process)
-def subscribe_events(channel: str):
-    pubsub = r.pubsub()
-    pubsub.subscribe(channel)
-    for message in pubsub.listen():
-        if message['type'] == 'message':
-            handle(json.loads(message['data']))
-```
-
-### Redis Streams (Durable Queue)
-
-```python
-# Producer
-def emit(stream: str, event: dict):
-    r.xadd(stream, event, maxlen=10000)  # Cap stream length
-
-# Consumer group — guarantees at-least-once delivery
-try:
-    r.xgroup_create('events:orders', 'processor', id='0', mkstream=True)
-except Exception:
-    pass  # Group already exists
-
-def consume(stream: str, group: str, consumer: str):
-    while True:
-        messages = r.xreadgroup(group, consumer, {stream: '>'}, count=10, block=2000)
-        for _, entries in (messages or []):
-            for msg_id, data in entries:
-                process(data)
-                r.xack(stream, group, msg_id)
-```
-
-> Prefer **Streams** over Pub/Sub when you need delivery guarantees, consumer groups, or replay.
-
-## Key Design
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-```
-# Pattern: resource:id:field
-user:123:profile
-order:456:status
-cache:product:789
-
-# Pattern: namespace:resource:id
-myapp:session:abc123
-myapp:ratelimit:user:123
-
-# Pattern: resource:date (time-bound keys)
-stats:pageviews:2024-01-01
-```
-
-### TTL Strategy
-
-| Data Type | Suggested TTL |
-|-----------|--------------|
-| User session | 24h (`86400`) |
-| API response cache | 5–15 min |
-| Rate limit window | Match window size |
-| Short-lived tokens | 5–10 min |
-| Leaderboard | 1h–24h |
-| Static/reference data | 1h–1 week |
-
-Always set a TTL. Keys without TTL accumulate indefinitely and cause memory pressure.
-
-## Connection Management
-
-### Connection Pooling
-
-```python
-from redis import ConnectionPool, Redis
-
-pool = ConnectionPool(
-    host='localhost',
-    port=6379,
-    db=0,
-    max_connections=20,
-    decode_responses=True,
-    socket_connect_timeout=2,
-    socket_timeout=2,
-)
-
-r = Redis(connection_pool=pool)
-```
-
-### Cluster Mode
-
-```python
-from redis.cluster import RedisCluster
-
-r = RedisCluster(
-    startup_nodes=[{"host": "redis-1", "port": 6379}],
-    decode_responses=True,
-    skip_full_coverage_check=True,
-)
-```
-
-### Sentinel (High Availability)
-
-```python
-from redis.sentinel import Sentinel
-
-sentinel = Sentinel(
-    [('sentinel-1', 26379), ('sentinel-2', 26379)],
-    socket_timeout=0.5,
-)
-master = sentinel.master_for('mymaster', decode_responses=True)
-replica = sentinel.slave_for('mymaster', decode_responses=True)
-```
-
-## Eviction Policies
-
-| Policy | Behavior | Best For |
-|--------|----------|----------|
-| `noeviction` | Error on write when full | Queues / critical data |
-| `allkeys-lru` | Evict least recently used | General cache |
-| `volatile-lru` | LRU only among keys with TTL | Mixed data store |
-| `allkeys-lfu` | Evict least frequently used | Skewed access patterns |
-| `volatile-ttl` | Evict soonest-to-expire | Prioritize long-lived data |
-
-Set via `redis.conf`: `maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru`
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Fix |
-|---|---|---|
-| Keys with no TTL | Memory grows unbounded | Always set TTL |
-| `KEYS *` in production | Blocks the server (O(N)) | Use `SCAN` cursor |
-| Storing large blobs (>100KB) | Slow serialization, memory pressure | Store reference + fetch from object store |
-| Single Redis for everything | No isolation between cache & queue | Use separate DBs or instances |
-| Ignoring connection pool limits | Connection exhaustion under load | Size pool to workload |
-| Not handling cache miss stampede | Thundering herd on cold start | Use locks or probabilistic early expiry |
-| `FLUSHALL` without thought | Wipes entire instance | Scope deletes by key pattern |
-
-### Cache Miss Stampede Prevention
-
-```python
-import threading
-
-_locks: dict[str, threading.Lock] = {}
-_locks_mutex = threading.Lock()
-
-def get_with_lock(key: str, fetch_fn, ttl: int = 300):
-    cached = r.get(key)
-    if cached:
-        return json.loads(cached)
-
-    with _locks_mutex:
-        if key not in _locks:
-            _locks[key] = threading.Lock()
-        lock = _locks[key]
-    with lock:
-        cached = r.get(key)  # Re-check after acquiring lock
-        if cached:
-            return json.loads(cached)
-        value = fetch_fn()
-        r.setex(key, ttl, json.dumps(value))
-        return value
-```
-
-> Note: for multi-process deployments, replace the in-process lock with `acquire_lock`/`release_lock` from the Distributed Locks section above.
-
-## Examples
-
-**Add caching to a Django/Flask API endpoint:**
-Use cache-aside with `setex` and a 5-minute TTL on the response. Key on the request parameters.
-
-**Rate-limit an API by user:**
-Use fixed-window with `pipeline(transaction=True)` for low-traffic endpoints; use sliding-window Lua for accurate per-user throttling.
-
-**Coordinate a background job across workers:**
-Use `acquire_lock` with a TTL that exceeds the expected job duration. Always release in a `finally` block.
-
-**Fan-out notifications to multiple subscribers:**
-Use Pub/Sub for fire-and-forget. Switch to Streams if you need guaranteed delivery or replay for late consumers.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-| Pattern | When to Use |
-|---------|-------------|
-| Cache-aside | Read-heavy, tolerate slight staleness |
-| Write-through | Strong consistency required |
-| Distributed lock | Prevent concurrent access to a resource |
-| Sliding window rate limit | Accurate per-user throttling |
-| Redis Streams | Durable event queue with consumer groups |
-| Pub/Sub | Broadcast with no delivery guarantees needed |
-| Sorted Set leaderboard | Ranked scoring, pagination |
-| HyperLogLog | Approximate unique count at low memory |

+    cache_key = f"product:{product_id}"
+    cached = r.get(cache_key)
+
+    if cached:
+        return json.loads(cached)
+
+    product = db.query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = %s", product_id)
+    r.setex(cache_key, 3600, json.dumps(product))  # TTL: 1 hour
+    return product
+```
+
+### Write-Through Cache
+
+```python
+def update_product(product_id: int, data: dict):
+    # Write to DB first
+    db.execute("UPDATE products SET ... WHERE id = %s", product_id)
+
+    # Immediately update cache
+    cache_key = f"product:{product_id}"
+    r.setex(cache_key, 3600, json.dumps(data))
+```
+
+### Cache Invalidation
+
+```python
+# Tag-based invalidation — group related keys under a set
+def cache_product(product_id: int, category_id: int, data: dict):
+    key = f"product:{product_id}"
+    tag = f"tag:category:{category_id}"
+    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
+    pipe.setex(key, 3600, json.dumps(data))
+    pipe.sadd(tag, key)
+    pipe.expire(tag, 3600)
+    pipe.execute()
+
+def invalidate_category(category_id: int):

+    keys = r.smembers(tag)
+    if keys:

+    r.delete(tag)
+```
+
+### Session Storage
+
+```python
+import time

+
+def create_session(user_id: int, ttl: int = 86400) -> str:
+    session_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
+    key = f"session:{session_id}"
+    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
+    pipe.hset(key, mapping={

+        "created_at": int(time.time()),
+    })
+    pipe.expire(key, ttl)
+    pipe.execute()
+    return session_id
+
+def get_session(session_id: str) -> dict | None:
+    data = r.hgetall(f"session:{session_id}")
+    return data if data else None
+
+def delete_session(session_id: str):
+    r.delete(f"session:{session_id}")
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+### Fixed Window (Simple)
+
+```python
+def is_rate_limited(user_id: int, limit: int = 100, window: int = 60) -> bool:
+    key = f"ratelimit:{user_id}:{int(time.time()) // window}"
+    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=True)
+    pipe.incr(key)
+    pipe.expire(key, window)
+    count, _ = pipe.execute()
+    return count > limit
+```
+
+### Sliding Window (Lua — Atomic)
+
+```lua
+-- sliding_window.lua

+                process(data)
+                r.xack(stream, group, msg_id)
+```
+
+> Prefer **Streams** over Pub/Sub when you need delivery guarantees, consumer groups, or replay.

+    startup_nodes=[{"host": "redis-1", "port": 6379}],
+    decode_responses=True,
+    skip_full_coverage_check=True,
+)
+```
+
+### Sentinel (High Availability)
+
+```python
+from redis.sentinel import Sentinel
+
+sentinel = Sentinel(
+    [('sentinel-1', 26379), ('sentinel-2', 26379)],
+    socket_timeout=0.5,
+)
+master = sentinel.master_for('mymaster', decode_responses=True)
+replica = sentinel.slave_for('mymaster', decode_responses=True)
+```
+
+## Eviction Policies
+
+| Policy | Behavior | Best For |
+|--------|----------|----------|
+| `noeviction` | Error on write when full | Queues / critical data |
+| `allkeys-lru` | Evict least recently used | General cache |
+| `volatile-lru` | LRU only among keys with TTL | Mixed data store |
+| `allkeys-lfu` | Evict least frequently used | Skewed access patterns |
+| `volatile-ttl` | Evict soonest-to-expire | Prioritize long-lived data |
+
+Set via `redis.conf`: `maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru`
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| Keys with no TTL | Memory grows unbounded | Always set TTL |
+| `KEYS *` in production | Blocks the server (O(N)) | Use `SCAN` cursor |
+| Storing large blobs (>100KB) | Slow serialization, memory pressure | Store reference + fetch from object store |
+| Single Redis for everything | No isolation between cache & queue | Use separate DBs or instances |
+| Ignoring connection pool limits | Connection exhaustion under load | Size pool to workload |
+| Not handling cache miss stampede | Thundering herd on cold start | Use locks or probabilistic early expiry |
+| `FLUSHALL` without thought | Wipes entire instance | Scope deletes by key pattern |
+
+### Cache Miss Stampede Prevention
+
+```python
+import threading
+
+_locks: dict[str, threading.Lock] = {}
+_locks_mutex = threading.Lock()
+
+def get_with_lock(key: str, fetch_fn, ttl: int = 300):
+    cached = r.get(key)
+    if cached:
+        return json.loads(cached)
+
+    with _locks_mutex:
+        if key not in _locks:
+            _locks[key] = threading.Lock()
+        lock = _locks[key]
+    with lock:
+        cached = r.get(key)  # Re-check after acquiring lock
+        if cached:
+            return json.loads(cached)
+        value = fetch_fn()
+        r.setex(key, ttl, json.dumps(value))
+        return value
+```
+
+> Note: for multi-process deployments, replace the in-process lock with `acquire_lock`/`release_lock` from the Distributed Locks section above.
+
+## Examples
+
+**Add caching to a Django/Flask API endpoint:**
+Use cache-aside with `setex` and a 5-minute TTL on the response. Key on the request parameters.
+
+**Rate-limit an API by user:**
+Use fixed-window with `pipeline(transaction=True)` for low-traffic endpoints; use sliding-window Lua for accurate per-user throttling.
+
+**Coordinate a background job across workers:**
+Use `acquire_lock` with a TTL that exceeds the expected job duration. Always release in a `finally` block.
+
+**Fan-out notifications to multiple subscribers:**
+Use Pub/Sub for fire-and-forget. Switch to Streams if you need guaranteed delivery or replay for late consumers.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Pattern | When to Use |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Cache-aside | Read-heavy, tolerate slight staleness |
+| Write-through | Strong consistency required |
+| Distributed lock | Prevent concurrent access to a resource |
+| Sliding window rate limit | Accurate per-user throttling |
+| Redis Streams | Durable event queue with consumer groups |
+| Pub/Sub | Broadcast with no delivery guarantees needed |
+| Sorted Set leaderboard | Ranked scoring, pagination |
+| HyperLogLog | Approximate unique count at low memory |
