Redis can be used as a database, cache, streaming engine, message broker, and more. To get started, follow one of these guides:

1. [Data structure store](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/get-started/data-store) — get to know the core Redis data types as an in-memory data structure store.
2. [Redis Search tutorial](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/get-started/search-tutorial) — a guided, end-to-end walkthrough of search and query for developers new to Redis: data modeling (hashes versus JSON), indexing, searching and filtering with `FT.SEARCH`, aggregation with `FT.AGGREGATE`, and vector and hybrid search.

You can find answers to frequently asked questions in the [FAQ](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/get-started/faq).
