The example (and related documentation at redis.io) was not updated for 5 years. Redis had no sorted sets and hashes when the original code was written (!). An update was really needed. We also use a modern PHP client now: Predis. A copy is shipped within this repository to make life easier to newcomers trying Redis for the first time via this example.

Hello! Retwis is a very simple clone of <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>, as a demo for the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/redis/">Redis</a> key-value database. Key points:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Redis is a key-value DB, and it is <b>the only DB used</b> by this application, no MySQL or alike at all.</li>
|
|
<li>This application can scale horizontally since there is no point where the whole dataset is needed at the same point. With consistent hashing (not implemented in the demo to make it simpler) different keys can be stored in different servers.</li>
|
|
<li>The source code of this application, and a tutorial explaining its design, is available <a href="http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/TwitterAlikeExample">here</a>.
|
|
<li>PHP and the Redis server communicate using the PHP Redis library client written by Ludovico Mangocavallo and included inside the Redis tar.gz distribution.
|
|
</ul>
