PhpRedis in Laravel – Redis Series Episode 2

In the previous episode, we went over installing and implementing Predis in Laravel. However, Predis is written in PHP while PhpRedis is written in C and more efficient under heavy loads or when dealing with large sets of data.

In this episode, we go over the steps necessary to install PhpRedis on our servers and then implementing it in Laravel.

The next episode will go over storing and counting views in our applications with Redis to avoid thousands of READS and WRITES in our database.
