Hi

Could someone give me a use case for redis bloom?

Hi,

As you know Bloom Filter is a space-efficient structure to see if an item has been added or not in a list.

Then some use case will be:

  • see if a user is already present in your system (login/email)
  • check if a data has been cached
  • in genetics, if a specific sequence has already been processed, or present in the database
  • in social media check if a specific resource has been viewed already by a user.
  • quickly check if a specific IP address or URL is authorized or not to access your system

All these can be done without Bloom filter on a small dataset, but if you have a very large dataset it will be more efficient with Bloom filter.

Just in case, let me share the quick introduction to Redis Bloom video by @guyroyse : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9_wrhdbSC4
