# Redis Data Structures & Caching Best Practices

Comprehensive Redis framework with 50+ rules across data structures, caching patterns, session management, pub/sub messaging, and performance optimization. Designed for high-performance caching, session storage, and real-time applications.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Implementing application caching (Django, FastAPI)
- Managing user sessions and authentication
- Building real-time features with pub/sub
- Optimizing database performance with Redis
- Implementing task queues and job processing
- Building scalable web applications
- Managing distributed locks and rate limiting

## Rule Categories by Priority

| Priority | Category | Impact | Rules | Prefix |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Data Structures | HIGH | 12 | `data-` |
| 2 | Caching Patterns | HIGH | 15 | `cache-` |
| 3 | Session Management | MEDIUM-HIGH | 8 | `session-` |
| 4 | Pub/Sub Messaging | MEDIUM-HIGH | 6 | `pubsub-` |
| 5 | Performance Optimization | MEDIUM | 6 | `perf-` |
| 6 | Security & Deployment | MEDIUM | 4 | `security-` |

- `pubsub-integration`: Application integration patterns

### 5. Performance Optimization (MEDIUM)
- `perf-persistence`: RDB and AOF configuration
