Deep Dive into Redis Persistence Mechanisms: RDB and AOF

Redis operates as an in-memory data store, leveraging RAM to achieve high-speed data access. While the primary design goal is performance, relying solely on memory introduces a risk of data loss during power outages or process failures. To mitigate this, Redis provides robust persistence mechanisms to save the in-memory state to disk, allowing ...

Timestamp Ordering for Concurrent Transaction Management

The previous lecture discussed Two-Phase Locking (2PL), a pessimistic concurrency control method. This lecture introduces Timestamp Ordering (T/O), an optimistic approach where transactions do not require explicit locking during data access. The core concept of T/O uses timestamps to define a serial execution order for transactions: if TS(T_i) ...
