Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker.

Service package
Redis first requires configuration to setup the credentials for protected mode. No defaults are assumed for users of the package.
Example service install / load and setup:
hab pkg install core/redis
echo '
requirepass="password"
' | hab config apply redis.default $(date +%s)
hab svc load core/redis
Redis provides the bind port for other services to bind to.
hab svc load my/service --bind redis:redis.default
The default configuration does not enable clustering. This should be addresed in future Habitat plan releases.
For the moment, a standalone topology is possible with the default configuration.
An at-once strategy would suffice for the standalone installation. If you are running in cluster mode, it is recommended that you employ the rolling strategy.
