How can I use Redis pipelines to improve performance?

Using Redis pipelines allows you to send multiple commands to the server in a single network round trip, reducing latency.

Can you give me an example of how to implement a pipeline in Python?

Sure! Here's a simple example using the redis-py library:

import redis

r = redis.Redis()

with r.pipeline() as pipe:
    pipe.set('key1', 'value1')
    pipe.set('key2', 'value2')
    pipe.execute()

What are the benefits of using pipelines over individual commands?

The main benefits include reduced network overhead, improved throughput, and better performance for batch operations.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of when using pipelines?

Yes, pipelines do not provide response handling for individual commands, so you won't get immediate feedback on errors until the entire pipeline is executed.
