I'll just take the opportunity to say how grateful I am that the idea of inventing Redis struck you -– regardless of how it originated. I use it all the time, both professionally and in my free time. Awesome piece of software. An idea is worthless by itself, execution is everything.

Very much this. Redis is pretty much the swiss army knife of persistence around our shop.

I've been meaning to learn redis for quite some time. Do you have favorite resources for this? Thank you.

Just the documentation to be honest. The basic functions of redis are quite simple to learn and use either using the redis-cli client or a language binding. Basically you PUT keyname value, and GET keyname to retrieve value. There's a ton of additional features and types of structures but the basic use of it is as a key/value store.
