+Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred
+to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes,
+lists, sets and sorted sets.
+
+You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string;
+incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set
+intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest
+ranking in a sorted set.
+
+In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an
+in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either
+by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each
+command to a log.
+
+Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very
+fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split
+and so forth.
