A data structure is an organized collection of data. It is a unique format for storing data to serve a particular purpose. It is used to access the data and manage it easily. Data structures are a technological means of organizing and storing data in computers so that we can perform operations on the stored data more efficiently. Data structures have a broad and diverse scope of usage across Computer Science and Software Engineering fields.

Designed with developers in mind and unlike simplistic key-value data stores, Redis data structures deliver flexible ways to model your data for many use cases in modern applications. Redis sophisticated data structures enable you to develop applications with fewer lines of elegant code to store, access, and use your data and enable powerful and speedy in-memory processing.

These data structures avoid the overhead associated with translation between application objects to database entities for every database operation.
