Redis keys are binary-safe, so literally anything can be used as a key. The only limitations are that they must be less than 512MB.
Examples of valid keys:
7
++++
`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+
user:10134
search/9947372/?query=this%20is%20a%28test%29%20query
<div id="div64">
Any other string less than 512MB in size.
The raw binary content of an image or other binary file.
An entire multi-line text document.
An entire SQL query.
Any integer, hexadecimal, octal, or binary value.
Anything else you can think of less than 512MB in size.
Invalid Redis keys:
Anything larger than 512MB.
