Summary

Redis is now available as an embedded data service for the EdgeX Foundry IoT Edge Platform, delivering exceptional performance and small runtime footprint, enabling data analytics closer to the source with low latency. The combination of EdgeX and Redis has been optimized for fog nodes, edge gateway devices, and IoT devices, leveraging Redis' blazing fast performance and small memory footprint. This partnership aims to address the demanding conditions at the IoT edge, as the edge computing trend is expected to accelerate over the next decade, with Gartner projecting a significant increase in processing and analytics for industrial IoT use cases at the IoT edge by 2020. The new commercial product RedisEdge is designed to simplify the complexities of IoT edge application development, allowing developers to focus on their applications while Redis takes care of the rest.
