redis vs redis stack

Redis and Redis Stack are both in-memory data stores, but they have different features and use cases.

Redis is a simple, in-memory key-value store that is often used as a cache or a database. It is very fast and efficient, and it is easy to use. However, Redis does not have any built-in support for complex data structures or queries.

Redis Stack is a more comprehensive platform that includes Redis, as well as a number of other modules that extend its capabilities. These modules include:

• RedisJSON provides JSON support for Redis.
• RedisGraph provides a graph database built on top of Redis.
• RedisTimeSeries provides a time series database built on top of Redis.
• RedisBloom provides probabilistic data structures for Redis.

Redis Stack is a good choice for applications that need more than just a simple key-value store. It is also a good choice for applications that need to use complex data structures or queries.

Here is a table that compares the two technologies:

Feature	Redis	Redis Stack
Data types	Strings, lists, sets, hashes	Strings, lists, sets, hashes, JSON, graphs, time series, probabilistic data structures
Queries	Simple key-value lookups	Complex queries, including aggregations, joins, and geospatial queries
Speed	Very fast	Fast
Ease of use	Easy to use	Easy to use
Cost	Free	Free

PS: Run Redis Stack on Docker
