Welcome! In this lesson, we are going to explore a feature of Redis that can significantly boost your application's performance — pipelines. With the help of the StackExchange.Redis library in C#, pipelines allow you to send multiple commands to the Redis server without waiting for a response after each command. Instead, you batch several commands and send them in one go, then read all the replies together. This approach can make your application more efficient and responsive. Ready to optimize your Redis usage with C#? Let's get started!

In this lesson, we will explore how to use Redis pipelines to batch commands in C#. Specifically, you will learn how to:

1. Initialize a Redis connection using C#.
2. Batch multiple commands together in a pipeline.
3. Execute the batched commands efficiently using the StackExchange.Redis library.

Here's a quick example to give you an overview. Consider a scenario where you need to update the number of courses completed and set a user's name. Normally, you would execute these commands one at a time. With pipelines using StackExchange.Redis in C#, you can batch them like this:
