Storing recommendations in Redis #17

Closed Ashwin-op closed 2 years ago

Ashwin-op commented 2 years ago

Here it has been mentioned that we can store the recommender to a file, database, or any other storage system.

Can we also save the .bin file to Redis and perform recommendations?

ankane commented 2 years ago

Hey @Ashwin-op, you can store the recommender in any storage system, including Redis. Instead of File.binwrite("recommender.bin", bin), use redis.set("recommender", bin).

And since bin is of the type IO, we need to convert it into a string to store it right?

Hey @Ashwin-op, you can check the Ruby type with:

bin = Marshal.dump(recommender)
puts bin.class.name
