In May 2014, I needed a Redis client. I had to collect log events within Redis (see https://github.com/mp911de/logcapture) during integration tests. The nature of integration tests and log events is, when tests are running, a lot is logged, but after the tests the connection is idle. Several clients caused connections to run into defective states,…

This release features Unix domain sockets on linux-x86_64 systems. Local connections to a Redis instance are now possible without the use of the network. A second feature with a huge impact is client options. Client options allow to control behavior on a fine-grained base. It is now possible to turn off auto-reconnect, validate the connection…

The book starts with a lot of marketing about Couchbase, explaining the history from CouchDB and memcached. This chapter will guide its readers through a very…

Do you want to test your REST API as soon as possible and without any hassle? The earliest point in the code where tests can occur is within the commit stage, where you can run unit tests. I want to present you an approach how to test REST API as soon as possible in an…

One day a coworker came to me convincing me: Let’s do something cool with internet of things and sensors. Until now, I did not know anything about IoT sensors but my first idea was a sonic sensor that tells the distance.
