Overview of My Submission

Stoa is a small forum app. The inspiration is a need of minimalistic internal forum for organizations. Designed to look like a typical social media app.

The main purpose of the project is to test redis as main database. I am using redisJSON to store documents and RediSearch to perform searches.

Stack:

• Typescript
• Next.js
• tailwindcss
• Redis stack

Some thoughts from mine experience:

Advantages:

• Easy to understand
• Fast integration thanks to redis-om-node library. In dozen minutes, we are ready to start manipulating with documents.
• We can storage several types of data, not only json.
• RedisInsight app is really helpful during development process. Cool!

Disadvantages:

• It's tricky when we want to build related data structure. We need to handle it by extending an entity class.
• We have to create index on a collection, before starting to search anything. It's tricky for the first time.
