Redis

In Redis Pub/Sub, we create different Redis channels as per the application requirement. Each application using Redis Pub/Sub will use these channels for either publishing purposes or subscribing purposes.

Whenever any application publishes a message to a channel, all subscriber client applications which have subscribed to that channel will be notified immediately of that message.
