Streaming with Redis and NodeJS

This is a demo built using the demo from the RedisConf18 keynote written by Kyle Davis and shows how to use Redis Stream using NodeJS.

This is a technology demo, not a reference architecture nor an example of best practices. While it might be possible to create a usable production system out of the ideas presented, it is not hardened in any way.

Setup

To setup the demo, you will need Node.js, NPM and your Redis connection information.

First, install the server-side Node modules with NPM

$ npm install

The Twitter eater, (in the future, the terms argument is the keyword on which the demo will run - it works best with something high volume like politics, sports, etc.) Right now it is hard coded with "trump" as search word.

$ node twitter.eater.js

Start server.node.js which streams to browser client.

$ node server.node.js

The service will launch on localhost:4000
