RedisBloom: Probabilistic Data Structures for Redis ¶
The RedisBloom module provides four data structures: a scalable Bloom filter , a cuckoo filter , a count-min sketch , and a top-k . These data structures trade perfect accuracy for extreme memory efficiency, so they're especially useful for big data and streaming applications.
Bloom and cuckoo filters are used to determine, with a high degree of certainty, whether an element is a member of a set.
A count-min sketch is generally used to determine the frequency of events in a stream. You can query the count-min sketch get an estimate of the frequency of any given event.
A top-k maintains a list of k most frequently seen items.

Bloom vs. Cuckoo ¶
Bloom filters typically exhibit better performance and scalability when inserting items (so if you're often adding items to your dataset, then a Bloom filter may be ideal). Cuckoo filters are quicker on check operations and also allow deletions.
