Redis-cli ping If it replies “PONG”, then it’s good to go! What does it mean? Is running or is good to run? Because am getting 'PONG' though the server is stoped. Probably brew is running on the redis server. Try 'brew services stop redis' in the terminal. Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store with on-disk persistence. Focusing on data sets the size of the memory you give them, Redis is a high-performance way to store and operate on key-value structures of complex data types, such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and others.
Stable releases liberally follow the usual major.minor.patch semantic versioning schema.
