Apps built with Redis
Redis earns its place in African stacks mostly as a way to stop doing expensive work twice. Caching database results and rendered pages cuts both response times and infrastructure bills, and when hosting is billed in dollars against local revenue that saving is material. Beyond caching it does several jobs small teams would otherwise need separate systems for: session storage, rate limiting to protect an API, background job queues, and pub/sub for real-time features like delivery tracking or chat. Because it holds data in memory, response times are consistently low, which is what makes it useful for the interactive parts of a product. It is rarely the primary store: it sits alongside PostgreSQL or MySQL rather than replacing them. Browse the products using Redis below.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Redis mainly used for?
- Caching, session storage, rate limiting, background job queues and real-time pub/sub messaging.
- Does caching really reduce costs?
- Meaningfully. Serving repeated requests from memory avoids database work, which lets the same hardware serve more users, directly relevant when infrastructure is priced in foreign currency.
