The way I like to define is: Redis is a "build your own (in memory) DB kit"

k/v store is just 10% of what it can do. Your value doesn't need to be a value, it can be:

- an array or a set

- an associative map

- an ordered list by score

- A bit array

Also offers functionality like streams and pub/sub
