Redis is a NoSQL database that's loved for its simplicity and speed. Those two virtues make it the most loved database by developers. But there's a problem inherent in Redis if you want to store more complicated objects. Redis is a key-value data structure store. This means that if you're going to perform CRUD(Create Read Update and Delete) operations on your data, and the only way you care to access the data is by your key, you'll have no problem. But what if we wanted to look up items by value? This is where things can get tricky in Redis, and that's also where the story of Redis OM begins. Querying items by their values in Redis requires a fair amount of legwork on the developers' part to manually build and maintain secondary indexes for those objects. After that, you need to execute several commands to perform your query. With Redis OM and RedisJSON, you can build your model ahead of time and query them with a LINQ interface.
