Calling Redis a database is a generous generalization. For example, Redis does not necessarily provide the same kind of durability as a database does, nor the capabilities one would expect from an RDBMS. In many cases, depending on configuration, it might be more appropriate to instead refer to Redis as a cache, an in-memory database, or a NoSQL database.
