How to use Redis MGET MSET pipeline in Python
Store multiple keys atomically and read them efficiently with Redis MSET/MGET, then batch commands with a pipeline to cut round trips.
import redis # v4.x+ required
r = redis.Redis(host="localhost", port=6379, db=0, decode_responses=True)
# Sample data to store
r.flushdb()
data = {"name": "Alice", "age": "30", "city": "Berlin"}
# MSET: store multiple key-value pairs in one command
r.mset(data)
# MGET: fetch multiple keys in one round trip

Build a minimal Redis-backed cache with TTL, JSON serialization, and automated fetching to speed up repeated expensive lookups.
import time
import redis
import json
class SimpleCache:
def __init__(self, host="localhost", port=6379, db=0, default_ttl=60):
self.client = redis.Redis(host=host, port=port, db=db, decode_responses=True)
self.default_ttl = default_ttl
def get(self, key):
value = self.client.get(key)…Browse by section
