RDB
Abbreviation · Development
Definitions
Redis Database file — a compact, point-in-time binary snapshot of the entire Redis dataset written to disk. RDB persistence is configured to trigger after N changes within M seconds (e.g., save 900 1) and produces a single dump.rdb file that can be used for backups, replication seeding, or disaster recovery.
In plain English: A saved snapshot of everything stored in a Redis database at a specific moment, like a photograph of the data.
Example: "We take an RDB snapshot every hour and ship it to S3 so we can restore the cache if the instance dies."
