How does Redis pipeline support work?

Redis pipeline support allows multiple commands to be sent to the server without waiting for the responses of previous commands. This reduces latency.

Can you give me an example of how to use it in a Python application?

Sure! You can use the pipeline method from the Redis client in Python. Here's a simple example:

import redis

r = redis.Redis()
pipeline = r.pipeline()
pipeline.set('key1', 'value1')
pipeline.set('key2', 'value2')
results = pipeline.execute()

What are the benefits of using pipelines?

The main benefits include reduced round-trip time, improved performance for batch operations, and efficient use of network resources.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, one limitation is that you cannot use transactions with pipelines. Also, if one command fails, it won't affect the others in the pipeline.
