Use of Redis server along with MongoDB while using Klov extent reporter

Question

I'm using klov extent reporter for generating HTML reports for my automation results logging.

But i see the documentation section of klov where the klov report can be used without Redis server. i Like to know what advantage i would get using redis server ? as i'm not aware of this.

I have gone through some docs on internet to know about but really want to know how its required with klov reporter ?

Answer 1

Redis is an in-memory key value datastore, which makes it much faster compared to databases which keep data on the disk.

Most applications use Redis to cache frequently accessed data / information obtained after heavy computation in the memory to improve their speed.
