AI Anomaly Detector
Built a production-grade AI-powered anomaly detection system that transforms Redis 8 from a simple cache into a powerful real-time data processing and machine learning platform. The system monitors microservices, tracks API endpoints, status codes, response times, and business metrics using Redis Streams for real-time data ingestion, Count-Min Sketches for memory-efficient probabilistic data structures, and RedisGears for server-side aggregation. Features production-ready Python and JavaScript SDKs, a modern React dashboard with WebSocket updates, and real-time alert broadcasting via Redis Pub/Sub.
The Challenge
Traditional monitoring solutions for distributed microservices generate overwhelming amounts of data and often detect issues only after they've impacted users. The challenge was to build a system that could process millions of data points in real-time, identify patterns, and predict failures before they cascade across the infrastructure. Redis needed to be used beyond traditional caching - as a primary database, real-time streams processor, and pub/sub messaging system.
The Solution
Developed a production-ready real-time anomaly detection system using Redis 8's advanced capabilities. Implemented Redis Streams for continuous data ingestion from multiple sources, Count-Min Sketches (via RedisBloom) for memory-efficient high-frequency metrics tracking, and RedisGears for server-side data aggregation creating system 'fingerprints' every 5 seconds. Built an AI Anomaly Service using Python with Isolation Forest algorithm from Scikit-learn that reads fingerprint data from Redis, trains anomaly detection models, and identifies outlier patterns in real-time. The system includes production-ready SDKs for Python and JavaScript, a modern React dashboard with WebSocket updates for real-time visualization, and Redis Pub/Sub for instant alert broadcasting. The architecture demonstrates Redis 8 as a high-performance, multi-model engine for complex data processing and analysis pipelines.
