Installation

pip install smart-redis-storage

Requirements

  • Python 3.6+
  • Redis server
  • redis-py library

Quick Start

from smart_redis_storage.redis_storage import RedisStorageManager

# Initialize with default Redis connection (localhost:6379)
redis_storage = RedisStorageManager()

# Store user data
user_id = 123
redis_storage.set_data(
    uniq_key=user_id, 
    key='profile', 
    value={'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'email': 'john@example.com'}
)

# Retrieve user data
profile = redis_storage.get_data(uniq_key=user_id, key='profile')
print(profile)  # {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'email': 'john@example.com'}

# Store with expiration (30 seconds)
redis_storage.set_data(
    uniq_key=user_id,
    key='session_data',
    value={'token': 'abc123', 'last_login': '2026-01-01'},
    expiration=30
)

Advanced Usage

Custom Redis Connection

# Connect to custom Redis instance
redis_storage = RedisStorageManager(
    host='redis-server.com', 
    port=6379, 
    db=1
)

Multiple Data Operations

# Store multiple pieces of data under same unique key
user_id = 456
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'preferences', {'theme': 'dark', 'language': 'en'})
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'cart', {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0})

# Get all data for a user
all_user_data = redis_storage.get_all_data(user_id)
print(all_user_data)
# {'preferences': {'theme': 'dark', 'language': 'en'}, 'cart': {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0}}

# Update specific data
redis_storage.update_data(user_id, 'preferences', {'theme': 'light', 'language': 'en'})

# Pop data (read and remove)
cart_data = redis_storage.pop_data(user_id, 'cart')
print(cart_data)  # {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0}

# Check remaining TTL
ttl = redis_storage.get_ttl(user_id)
print(f"TTL: {ttl} seconds")

Data Management

# Delete specific key
redis_storage.delete_key(user_id, 'preferences')

# Delete all data for a unique key
redis_storage.delete_all_hash(user_id)

# Check if data exists
data = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, 'nonexistent_key')
print(data)  # None

API Reference

RedisStorageManager Class

Constructor

RedisStorageManager(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)

Methods

  • set_data(uniq_key, key, value, expiration=None)
    Store data with optional expiration (in seconds)

  • get_data(uniq_key, key, pop=False)
    Retrieve data. Set pop=True to remove after reading

  • get_all_data(uniq_key)
    Retrieve all key-value pairs for a unique identifier

  • update_data(uniq_key, key, value, expiration=None)
    Update existing data (alias for set_data)

  • pop_data(uniq_key, key)
    Retrieve and remove data

  • delete_key(uniq_key, key)
    Remove specific key

  • delete_all_hash(uniq_key)
    Remove all data for a unique identifier

  • get_ttl(uniq_key)
    Get remaining time-to-live in seconds


Use Cases

Session Management

# Store user session
def store_user_session(user_id, session_data):
    redis_storage.set_data(
        uniq_key=user_id,
        key='session',
        value=session_data,
        expiration=3600  # 1 hour
    )

# Retrieve and validate session
def get_valid_session(user_id):
    session = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, 'session')
    if session and session.get('valid_until') > time.time():
        return session
    return None

Cache Management

# Cache expensive computation results
def get_cached_data(user_id, data_key, compute_function):
    cached = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, data_key)
    if cached is not None:
        return cached
    
    # Compute and cache if not found
    result = compute_function()
    redis_storage.set_data(user_id, data_key, result, expiration=300)
    return result

Multi-tenant Data Isolation

# Different tenants can use the same storage with different unique keys
tenant_a_data = redis_storage.get_all_data('tenant_a')
tenant_b_data = redis_storage.get_all_data('tenant_b')

Storage Structure

The library uses Redis hashes with the following pattern:

  • Key format: uniq:{unique_identifier}
  • Field: Your specified key
  • Value: JSON-serialized data

Example:

uniq:123 (Hash)
  ├── profile → '{"name": "John", "age": 30}'
  ├── session → '{"token": "abc123", "last_login": "2026-01-01"}'
  └── preferences → '{"theme": "dark", "language": "en"}'

Error Handling

The library handles Redis connection errors and JSON serialization/deserialization automatically. In case of connection issues, Redis-py will raise appropriate exceptions that you can catch in your application.

try:
    redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'key', {'data': 'value'})
except redis.ConnectionError as e:
    print(f"Redis connection error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

Performance Considerations

  • Uses Redis hashes for efficient storage of multiple related data
  • JSON serialization adds overhead but provides flexibility
  • Consider data size and expiration policies for optimal performance
  • Batch operations can be implemented by storing multiple keys under same unique identifier
