What is Naming Conventions?

Naming conventions in Redis are crucial for maintaining organized and understandable data structures, especially in large applications. Common practices include using colons (:) as separators for hierarchical keys (e.g., user:1001:settings), employing prefixes to group related keys (e.g., session:, cache:), and using concise, descriptive names to indicate the purpose and type of the key.
