We will go through the process of integrating **Redis** with a **Spring Boot** application step by step. You will learn how to correctly add **dependencies** and configure **connection parameters**.

# Adding Dependencies
To integrate **Redis** into the project, you need to add the necessary **dependencies** to your application's build system.

For **Maven**, add the following code to the `pom.xml` file:

```
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
</dependency>
```

For **Gradle**, add the following **dependency** to your `build.gradle` file:

```
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis'
```

This **dependency** includes the components required to work with **Redis**, enabling the **Spring application** to use Redis for **data storage**, **caching**, and other **distributed data operations**. It simplifies interaction with Redis through Spring **annotations** and **components**, making it easier to work with the **database** and **caching**.

# Configuration
To configure **Redis** as a **cache**, all you need to do is add a single line to the `application.properties` file. You'll specify that Redis will be used for **caching**.

The **configuration** in the `application.properties` file for **Spring Boot** specifies the use of **Redis** as the **caching mechanism** with the line `spring.cache.type=redis`. This integrates Redis into the **application**, allowing for efficient **data storage** in the **cache**.

# Summary
As a result of these steps, we have successfully integrated **Redis** into the **Spring Boot application**, enabling the connection to a **Redis server** and performing **data operations**. The application is now ready to use Redis as a **cache**.

This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of Redis and its use in real-world applications. We'll cover key Redis commands, data types, key expiration and transactions, as well as how to integrate Redis with Spring for efficient data caching.

This section provides an introduction to Redis, highlighting its core features and common use cases. You’ll learn how to install Redis on different platforms, including Windows and macOS, and get familiar with the basics of connecting to and starting the Redis server.

Here, we explore the essential Redis commands for managing and manipulating data effectively. You'll learn how to set, retrieve, increment, and delete data using commands like SET, GET, EXISTS, INCR, DECR, and tackle practical tasks to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.

Here, you will learn about key Redis data types, including Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, and Hashes. You will explore their functionality and practical applications through focused exercises designed to reinforce your understanding of each data type.

You'll explore advanced features of Redis, including managing key lifecycles, executing transactions, and leveraging the Pub/Sub messaging system. Additionally, you'll learn essential security practices to safeguard your Redis environment against unauthorized access.

This section introduces the fundamentals of caching and demonstrates how to configure Redis as a cache in a Spring application. It covers key caching annotations and practical examples of caching queries in web applications, concluding with a summary of the main concepts.
