I think that what the module does is actually not clear here in the comments I'm reading. It's mostly a nice "Hello World" module that shows how Redis can act as a proxy, but it's just a small glue-module that calls the SQLite library with the string passed as query. So you are running queries on a local sqlite server, proxied by Redis. While this can be a good programming example for newcomers, I suggest to look at modules that are really implementing new DB paradigms on top of Redis. For instance this module builds a graph DB on top of Redis data types, with a query language and so forth: https://github.com/swilly22/redis-module-graph

Personally, modules have been the thing I wanted most in redis for years, and it's been a delightful experience working on modules for the past months. I really think it's a game changer for redis and I can't wait to see where this will take it in the coming years. Some modules that are already out there (full disclosure - I work at Redis Labs and I've developed a couple of those): * redis-cell - a rate limiter module https://github.com/brandur/redis-cell * Redis Graph - a graph DB with a subset of Cipher for querying. https://github.com/swilly22/redis-module-graph * RediSeach - fast full-text search engine with fuzzy auto-suggest. https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/RediSearch * redis-ml: Machine learning models as redis data types. https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/redis-ml * redablooms - scalable bloom filters https://github.com/Redi
