Use cases

Hi everybody,

Can you give some use cases with redis TS?

Thanks in advances

Norma,

There are many use cases for RedisTimeSeries. Here are the common ones:

Application and system monitoring: A typical setup includes Grafana + Prometheus, with Prometheus connected to a SQL-based database or a disk storage. You could boost the performance of this setup with Grafana + Prometheus + RedisTimeSeries. You’ll get better UX on your Grafana dashboard. You can also support more panels and pull more metrics per panel.

IoT: IoT solutions rely on sensors collecting periodic data and sending them to central or federated cloud solutions for analysis. A typical industrial grade IoT solution captures data from hundreds of thousands of sensors on multiple data points. You can capture the data in RedisTimeSeries and enforce downsampling, so that you keep only relevant data.

Market research: A lot of market research and analytics depend on running multivariate regression and other predictive analysis on time series data. Traditionally, solutions employed a relational database to store this data. You could use RedisTimeSeries as a front-end database to serve time series queries. The queries can run 100 to 1000 times faster.

Energy and utilities: Power consumption metrics by time is the most invaluable data for energy companies. Consumer power utility companies are innovating new personalized solutions to reduce power consumption by each customer. Most of these solutions are based on analysis of time series data. They can all employ RedisTimeSeries.

We plan to use this for anomaly detection.

We tried InfluxDB (terrible), and then switched over to redis but managing the keyspace was a headache. Hoping the new TS modules clean things up.

Vishal,

You should surely try RedisTimeSeries. It has built-in support for downsampling and retention period. If you can let us know your specific needs, we would be more than happy to suggest how you can use RedisTimeSeries for your use case.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response Roshan. I’m waiting for the team to push some updates that address a few issues:
