Lettuce by far is the best Redis client out there for Java. In the java world, Annotations and Mappings are pretty popular. I build services using these concepts before however they were always under the service boundaries, never as shared libraries in order to avoid coupling. So today I record a video showing how we can use this feature and also extend the functionality to add custom enriched behavior.  We will be using Spring Boot 2, Spring Data Redis, and Lettuce as redis Client. We also will need to have redis running either as standalone / cluster or running on docker. We will create custom annotations in order to describe the behavior we want. I need to say that some people love and other people hate annotations, I have mixed feelings. Often for those that don't like it - check this out . Besides that, let's take a look. So Let's get started.

Lettuce is a very efficient and extensible Redis client for Java.  Lettuce is interesting for many reasons but one of the big ones is the fact that provides an Observable / Flux API. So you can very efficient reactive programming with RxJava or Reactive-Streams power by Reactor . I'm using lettuce in production in the last 2 years and have been really great. For this blog post, I will how to dispatch custom commands to redis-modules via Lettuce.
