Modern Redis Crash Course: Backend with Express, TypeScript and Zod

Learn how to build a node backend and use Redis's speed. Let's have a look at the basic Redis data types, then some modern features such as RedisJSON, Redis Search and Bloom filters. We will make a restaurant directory and review site backend using express, covering how we can store this data in Redis, and use Redis as a cache for 3rd party APIs as well. On top of this, we will be utilising TypeScript and Zod to ensure maximum type safety and data validation.
