| 1.1 | Understand the general concept of computational complexity, including time-complexity and space-complexity | Performance and Big-O Notation in RU101: Introduction to Redis Data Structures; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity |
| 1.2 | Understand the relative differences between O(1) (constant-time), O(log(n)) (logarithmic), and O(n) (linear-time) complexity | https://www.bigocheatsheet.com/ |
| 1.3 | Understand the definition of an atomic operation | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(database_systems); https://redis.io/topics/transactions |
| 1.4 | Understand the differences between an in-memory database and an on-disk database. Know that Redis is an in-memory database and that all read and write operations happen in RAM | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-memory_database; https://redis.io/topics/faq |
