Running Redis on Google Colab - KDnuggets

Google Colab is a popular browser based environment for executing Python code on hosted Jupyter notebooks and training models for machine learning, including free access to GPUs! It is a great platform for data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers for learning and quickly developing ML models in Python. Redis is an in-memory open source database that is increasingly being used in machine learning - from caching, messaging and fast data ingest, to semantic search and online feature stores. In fact, NoSQL databases - and specifically Redis - was named by Ben Weber, Director of Applied Data Science at Zynga as one of the 8 new tools he learned as a data scientist in 2020. Because of the increasing use of Redis for data science and machine learning, it is very handy to be able to run Redis directly from your Google Colab notebook!
