Redis offers two persistence options:
RDB (Redis Database Backup) :
Point-in-time snapshots
Compact binary format
Good for backups and disaster recovery
Can lose data between snapshots
AOF (Append Only File) :
Logs every write operation
Better durability (can be configured for every operation)
Larger file size
Slower restart times
# RDB configuration
SAVE 900 1 # Save if at least 1 key changed in 900 seconds
SAVE 300 10 # Save if at least 10 keys changed in 300 seconds
# AOF configuration
appendonly yes
appendfsync everysec # Options: always, everysec, no
