Lightweight and efficient Redis storage manager for Python applications
Provides simple CRUD operations with JSON serialization and hash-based data organization.
smart-redis-storage — a lightweight and efficient Redis storage manager for Python applications. Provides simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations with JSON serialization and hash-based data organization.
- Simple CRUD Operations — Easy-to-use methods for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations
- JSON Serialization — Automatic serialization and deserialization of Python objects
- Hash-based Storage — Organized data storage using Redis hashes with unique keys
- TTL Support — Configurable expiration time for stored data
- Thread-safe — Built on Redis-py, suitable for multi-threaded applications
- Flexible Data Structure — Store multiple key-value pairs under a single unique identifier
pip install smart-redis-storage
Requirements:
- Python 3.6+
- Redis server
- redis-py library
from smart_redis_storage.redis_storage import RedisStorageManager
# Initialize with default Redis connection (localhost:6379)
redis_storage = RedisStorageManager()
# Store user data
user_id = 123
redis_storage.set_data(
uniq_key=user_id,
key='profile',
value={'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'email': 'john@example.com'}
)
# Retrieve user data
profile = redis_storage.get_data(uniq_key=user_id, key='profile')
print(profile) # {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'email': 'john@example.com'}
# Store with expiration (30 seconds)
redis_storage.set_data(
uniq_key=user_id,
key='session_data',
value={'token': 'abc123', 'last_login': '2026-01-01'},
expiration=30
)
Custom Redis Connection:
# Connect to custom Redis instance
redis_storage = RedisStorageManager(
host='redis-server.com',
port=6379,
db=1
)
Multiple Data Operations:
# Store multiple pieces of data under same unique key
user_id = 456
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'preferences', {'theme': 'dark', 'language': 'en'})
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'cart', {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0})
# Get all data for a user
all_user_data = redis_storage.get_all_data(user_id)
print(all_user_data)
# {'preferences': {'theme': 'dark', 'language': 'en'}, 'cart': {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0}}
# Update specific data
redis_storage.update_data(user_id, 'preferences', {'theme': 'light', 'language': 'en'})
# Pop data (read and remove)
cart_data = redis_storage.pop_data(user_id, 'cart')
print(cart_data) # {'items': [1, 2, 3], 'total': 150.0}
# Check remaining TTL
ttl = redis_storage.get_ttl(user_id)
print(f"TTL: {ttl} seconds")
Data Management:
# Delete specific key redis_storage.delete_key(user_id, 'preferences') # Delete all data for a unique key redis_storage.delete_all_hash(user_id) # Check if data exists data = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, 'nonexistent_key') print(data) # None
RedisStorageManager Class
Constructor: RedisStorageManager(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
set_data(uniq_key, key, value, expiration=None) | Store data with optional expiration (in seconds) |
get_data(uniq_key, key, pop=False) | Retrieve data. Set pop=True to remove after reading |
get_all_data(uniq_key) | Retrieve all key-value pairs for a unique identifier |
update_data(uniq_key, key, value, expiration=None) | Update existing data (alias for set_data) |
pop_data(uniq_key, key) | Retrieve and remove data |
delete_key(uniq_key, key) | Remove specific key |
delete_all_hash(uniq_key) | Remove all data for a unique identifier |
get_ttl(uniq_key) | Get remaining time-to-live in seconds |
Session Management:
# Store user session
def store_user_session(user_id, session_data):
redis_storage.set_data(
uniq_key=user_id,
key='session',
value=session_data,
expiration=3600 # 1 hour
)
# Retrieve and validate session
def get_valid_session(user_id):
session = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, 'session')
if session and session.get('valid_until') > time.time():
return session
return None
Cache Management:
# Cache expensive computation results
def get_cached_data(user_id, data_key, compute_function):
cached = redis_storage.get_data(user_id, data_key)
if cached is not None:
return cached
# Compute and cache if not found
result = compute_function()
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, data_key, result, expiration=300)
return result
Multi-tenant Data Isolation:
# Different tenants can use the same storage with different unique keys
tenant_a_data = redis_storage.get_all_data('tenant_a')
tenant_b_data = redis_storage.get_all_data('tenant_b')
The library uses Redis hashes with the following pattern:
- Key format:
uniq:{unique_identifier} - Field: Your specified key
- Value: JSON-serialized data
Example:
uniq:123 (Hash)
├── profile → '{"name": "John", "age": 30}'
├── session → '{"token": "abc123", "last_login": "2026-01-01"}'
└── preferences → '{"theme": "dark", "language": "en"}'
The library handles Redis connection errors and JSON serialization/deserialization automatically. In case of connection issues, Redis-py will raise appropriate exceptions that you can catch in your application.
try:
redis_storage.set_data(user_id, 'key', {'data': 'value'})
except redis.ConnectionError as e:
print(f"Redis connection error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
- Uses Redis hashes for efficient storage of multiple related data
- JSON serialization adds overhead but provides flexibility
- Consider data size and expiration policies for optimal performance
- Batch operations can be implemented by storing multiple keys under same unique identifier
