What are atomic operations in Redis?

Atomic operations in Redis are operations that are completed in a single step without interference from other operations.

Can you give me an example of an atomic operation?

Sure! An example is the INCR command, which increments the value of a key atomically.

Why are atomic operations important?

They ensure data consistency and integrity, especially in concurrent environments where multiple clients may access the same data.

How does Redis handle atomicity?

Redis uses a single-threaded event loop to handle commands, ensuring that each command is executed fully before the next one starts.
