I would like to express my gratitude to the great minds that created Redis and made this exciting piece of software open source.

This work would not have been possible without the support of my parents and my wife, Suvarchala, who was patient with my round-the-clock working hours.

Thanks to Sitakanta and Sulakshan for introducing me to MySmartPrice and providing me with an opportunity to work there; MySmartPrice started my love affair with Redis.

I would like to thank the open source community for excellent documentation about Redis; it was of incredible help during my early days with Redis.

It is totally unfair to not thank my editor and publisher who believed in me and provided me with this excellent opportunity to share my experience with you.

I would also like to thank each and every one who shaped my career over the years and helped me find the best in me.
