1 more thing to add; sorted set, internally is implemented with skip lists and hashtables in Redis. Thats why adding value to sorted set is O(logN) on average and searching is O(logN + M). If you bring this up, congratulations you passed your interview
Hi i just want to say your work is truly fantastic and you are an excellent educator! I started watching your videos to prepare for system design interviews and your explanations and examples are top notch. I'm motivated to continue watching not just to prep but also to expand my knowledge and improve my craft. Eagerly awaiting the great work you'll do next!
The problem of hot key is clear but solution of hashtag is very difficult to understand. do we have to handle that all in the client? like figure out what are the hot keys?? and what will adding hashtag do really?
Very informative and helpful video as always. I would appreciate if the visualization of the internals could be a bit more detailed and in sync with what you describe, rather than just a couple of boxes. Regardless, this is a refreshing take to step away from the usual system design videos to dive into technologies that are useful in both interviews and real life. Hope to see more of this in the future.
Great content. This is a great resource for learning before i apply Redis to my own projects. One thing I was wondering was if your content would be able to be added into Spotify so I could listen along on the go?
Wait .... I thought I clicked on a Dua Lipa music video. 😀. Just kidding. Stefan I love this - clear, concise, articulate and I learned something. Keep 'em coming.
I really enjoy your content on the website, the videos as well as posts on reddit. Can you make another video on behavior/leadership principles interview next? I would like to learn how to tell a convincing story about my leadership potential.
It's a great deep dive. I'd like to give a suggestion, Can you guys add chapters to the video, so that, if I want to rewatch again about certain portion of the video then that would be easy thing to do.
You should have chapters on this one! If you look at the description "Key Moments" will take you to the relevant sections. LMK if we're not doing something else we should be doing!
@@hello_interview I see that, you missed to add "00:00" time stamp in your "Key moments", that's causing YT to not auto chaptering your video. I have checked couple of other videos in the channel, videos which are having 00:00 in their key moments, respective chapters are added.
Loved it! Want to see more on how communication between service on global scale like using kafka with async or consistent connection around this please, if you get the idea, Sorry i am bad at explaining
At 22:55 how does hashing tweet IDs help if we're looking for the most liked tweets overall? Or were you referring to getting top liked tweets for specific keywords when splitting that key across multiple nodes?
@@hello_interview sorry, what's the approach? I think somewhere else in the video talks about it, but I also somehow did not understand that. Is it roughly the following? Generate X random suffixes. Maintain a map on the (Redis') client side of . Whenever we want to do some sort of "write", we get a random suffix from our list and append it to our key in the Redis command. Whenever we want to do some sort of "read", we get _all_ random suffixes (X of them) from our set, make X reads from Redis, and aggregrate on the client side. ---- Or maybe it's sometimes the opposite way. For example, in a cache, I'm guessing we'd want to write our value to each and every one of the key+randomsuffix. Then for a read, we can (randomly) pick one of the suffixes. ---- Maybe the missing link (for me and others similarly confused) is how/where the random suffixes are managed. There's also the question of how we (automatically?) identify a hotkey, or develop an algorithm that generates (or increases) the number of suffixes depending on some sort of access rate.
Hi, you talked about append a random number to solve the hotkey issue. But when you want to retrieve the data, you won't know the key because you append a random number.
You can use Kafka as pub/sub! Differences in durability (Redis in memory, Kafka persists to disk), which then has consequences on other things like ease of disconnection, etc. But they can both be used.
Redis pub/sub is really dumb, at-most-once delivery of messages. You can think of it as a hashmap from a topic (string) to a socket connection to a subscribing server with all the associated problems (messages might get lost?) and benefits (incredibly lightweight, low-latency etc.) Kafka is more full-featured. Kafka has message persistence, you can make guarantees on delivery, etc.
In practice? Substantially faster and cheaper if you can accept some of the (many) compromises. In an interview setting it can be helpful to have a few multifaceted tools vs having to know all about Kafka (video on that soon). If your business was entirely built around append-only logs I probably wouldn't take Redis as an acceptable substitute, though it works in a pinch.
Can i book sys design coaching sessions on hello interview or is it only for mock interviews?I'm a senior engineer and I've just started preparing do you recommend to jump straight into mocks?

@@hello_interview Geohashing algorithm is too complex. I just cant take in all this diagrams. I also dont understand how proximity systems can search something inside the circle using square blocks of geohashes
@@maxvettel7337 Gotcha! I'll earmark this for follow-up. The nice thing is you don't necessarily need to know about the geohashing internals to use something like Redis' proximity search in practice!
14:40 the nice thing about this stream is if we have got something we need to make sure all of the items of the stream are processed, the redis give us a bunch of premitives to work with. What does this mean?

Can we have one deep dive on SQL vs NoSQL, a topic always asked in system design interview.
We actually have an opinion on that very topic, check this out: www.hellointerview.com/learn/system-design/in-a-hurry/key-technologies#core-database

10:00 didn't quite catch how adding random suffix would solve hot node problem
Splits the hot shard into multiple, so you can distribute that load across nodes.
@@hello_interview sorry, what's the approach? I think somewhere else in the video talks about it, but I also somehow did not understand that.
Is it roughly the following?
Generate X random suffixes. Maintain a map on the (Redis') client side of .

There's also the question of how we (automatically?) identify a hotkey, or develop an algorithm that generates (or increases) the number of suffixes depending on some sort of access rate.
@@hello_interview but how will you query the key then, as at read time you don't know what random suffix got added
@@hello_interview What if the new key conflicts with any keys added later?
@@Xiao-p9m How will it conflit, we append the certain value every single time so there wont be a conflict
Thanks so much for the video. I would be really interested in deep dive on elastisearch/opensearch

Can you please do deep dives on Kafka and Spark too ? I love your videos
Written deep dive on Kafka coming in a couple days!!
Solid value.
Hi, you talked about append a random number to solve the hotkey issue. But when you want to retrieve the data, you won't know the key because you append a random number.
What is the difference between Redis Pub/Sub and Kafka? From the other video, what I understand is Kafka is queue and event driven as well.
You can use Kafka as pub/sub! Differences in durability (Redis in memory, Kafka persists to disk), which then has consequences on other things like ease of disconnection, etc. But they can both be used.
Redis pub/sub is really dumb, at-most-once delivery of messages. You can think of it as a hashmap from a topic (string) to a socket connection to a subscribing server with all the associated problems (messages might get lost?) and benefits (incredibly lightweight, low-latency etc.)
Kafka is more full-featured. Kafka has message persistence, you can make guarantees on delivery, etc.
Thank you.
Please make a video on Elastic Search
Why would I want to use Redis stream over something like Kinesis or Kafka streams
In practice? Substantially faster and cheaper if you can accept some of the (many) compromises. In an interview setting it can be helpful to have a few multifaceted tools vs having to know all about Kafka (video on that soon).
If your business was entirely built around append-only logs I probably wouldn't take Redis as an acceptable substitute, though it works in a pinch.
