      Hi tmuco!

      Not specifically within this series, but we are planning to use the completed code from this series within another series to cover testing with Japa!

      You can find what's on our radar at the page below, though series planned isn't in any particular order.

      Hi Ikeh! Redis is used for a very brief period in this series. I believe 2.14 and 2.15 are the only two lessons we use it within, just to show how to work with it. It is completely skippable if you don't feel like setting it up on your machine!

      Alternatively, you can use Redis Cloud. They offer a small free tier if you click "Try for Free" and then select the "Essentials" plan option during sign-up, as shown below.

      Once you've created your database, you can click on "connect" and then expand the "Redis Client" section. Here you can copy/paste the username, password, host, and port into your .env file of your project.

      Note: you have to click the "copy" button to get the actual password
