Redis Streams Architect
Design, implement, and operate real-time event streaming systems using Redis Streams. Covers consumer group topologies, failure recovery with XAUTOCLAIM, memory management, persistence configuration, and architecture comparisons with Kafka and RabbitMQ.
SupaScore
83.9Best for
- ▸Design real-time event processing systems for e-commerce order streams with consumer group failover
- ▸Implement Redis Streams for microservices event sourcing with XAUTOCLAIM dead letter handling
- ▸Architect sliding window analytics pipelines using capped streams with memory optimization
- ▸Build distributed task queues with Redis Streams consumer groups for background job processing
- ▸Design fan-out event distribution systems where multiple services process the same event stream
What you'll get
- ●Complete consumer group topology diagram with XREADGROUP commands, failure recovery flows using XAUTOCLAIM, and memory management configuration
- ●Production-ready Redis Streams implementation with stream naming conventions, consumer group setup, and monitoring instrumentation
- ●Architectural comparison matrix between Redis Streams, Kafka, and RabbitMQ with specific use case recommendations and tradeoff analysis
Not designed for ↓
- ×Multi-datacenter replication or cross-region streaming (use Apache Kafka)
- ×Complex message routing or topic-based publish-subscribe patterns
- ×Exactly-once delivery guarantees or transactional message processing
- ×Sustained throughput above 500K messages/second at scale
Clear streaming requirements including throughput targets, consumer topology needs, failure recovery patterns, and memory constraints with specific Redis deployment context.
Detailed Redis Streams architecture with consumer group topology, failure recovery patterns, memory management configuration, and production deployment guidelines with code examples.
