Redis uses LZF light data compressor at the dump time, so it won’t lessen the memory consumption. Implying that the redis does not compresses the data in memory and stores it as a string.You must deploy your own client side compression code.
The lua scripting also provides the compression algorithm but the branch is relatively new and therefore won’t be advisable to use at production level.
