<p><strong><a href="http://antirez.com/post/vmware-the-new-redis-home.html">VMware: the new Redis home</a></strong></p> Redis creator Salvatore Sanfilippo is joining VMWare to work on Redis full time. Sounds like a good match. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/keyvaluestores">keyvaluestores</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nosql">nosql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/redis">redis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/salvatore-sanfilippo">salvatore-sanfilippo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/vmware">vmware</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://antirez.com/post/redis-weekly-update-1.html">Redis weekly update #1 - Hashes and... many more!</a></strong></p> Hashes were the big missing data type in Redis—support is only partial at the moment (no ability to list all keys in a hash or delete a specific key) but at the rate Redis is developed I expect that to be fixed within a week or two. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hashes">hashes</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/keyvaluestores">keyvaluestores</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nosql">nosql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/redis">redis</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://antirez.com/post/redis-virtual-memory-story.html">Redis Virtual Memory: the story and the code</a></strong></p> Fascinating overview of the virtual memory feature coming to Redis 2.0, which will remove the requirement that all Redis data fit in RAM. Keys still stay in RAM, but rarely accessed values will be swapped to disk. 16 GB of RAM will be enough to hold 100 million keys, each with a value as large as you like. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/databases">databases</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/keyvaluestores">keyvaluestores</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/redis">redis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/salvatore-sanfilippo">salvatore-sanfilippo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/virtualmemory">virtualmemory</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://github.com/ericflo/django-tokyo-sessions">ericflo&#x27;s django-tokyo-sessions</a></strong></p> A Django sessions backend using Tokyo Cabinet, via Tokyo Tyrant and the PyTyrant library. A fast key/value store is a much better solution for sessions than a relational database. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/databases">databases</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eric-florenzano">eric-florenzano</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/keyvaluestores">keyvaluestores</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pytyrant">pytyrant</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sessions">sessions</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tokyocabinet">tokyocabinet</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tokyotyrant">tokyotyrant</a></p>
